    Suggestions for Flybridge lighting, please.

    Ha, the power of the forum, it takes me back. The T40 is a little on the dark side away from the Radar arch. Strange being boatless, just over a year now. One misses the boat but not MDL :o (Just Kidding) Nice to see so many familiar names. Hi to all ! ;) RR

    Two Forum Boats Have Lunch Today

    You can cross that one off your 'Bucket list' now then Mike. I bet you never thought you'd risk it when you first open the box, eh? RR

    Haydn, hlb

    So sad to read this news. I too enjoyed the silly posts and the banter with the northern 'club'. Many a funny story or even a turn of phrase in repartee to some 'newbee' or generic muppet. He was totally respected on here over the years for many lasting contributions which even now are still...

    Two Forum Boats Have Lunch Today

    You'll never stop if that were true, there's always a bigger one! Jenny Wren is a little big boat where as yours is a large little boat.. Got it? :o RR

    Walker Bay Ribs - UK dealer?

    Hiya I think you'll find that Hurricane's old Walker Bay which Jez has now is a 340 with console and a 40 Hp Yamaha. I found the the 310 a little too small for the console. I bought my 270 (which is large for 270 - 4 persons ok) from Pacer Marine in Farnham that have now moved to Aldershot...

    Flybridge redesign

    Nice little project Jez and some good ideas coming up from all corners. I would start at the fixed points that can't be moved like the helm seats. I generally like Princess ideas but I can't understand why the insist on placing double helm seats bang up against the side of the rails so the...

    Sanding teak

    Not exactly sure what you meant but 'Semco' will come off with Part 1 Wessex chemicals teak cleaner. Sanding is generally a last resort, so only if you have to! RR Jez, yours probably is solid teak and not vaneered so fair play! :cool:

    50ft or 62ft? Is bigger than 50 really too big for the uk?

    Sorry about the head comment, early T47s' had them close together like the T43. TheV48 split them fore and aft, unless the brain's gone.:( The closest match I can think of then is the Sunseeker Predator 52: large volume boat Shafts Sunpad 3 Cabins large centre one too. HiLo swim deck Patio...

    Do you think he may be constrained by his draught? ;) RR

    50ft or 62ft? Is bigger than 50 really too big for the uk?

    Nice problem to have, :o personally, I agree with all points above. If you like to go at the drop of a hat or even just nip out to Poole or similar, a fast sports boat around 40' is perfect. Space will be too tight for you though taking into account your original feelings and current T47. The...

    How full is your marina ?

    Shamrock Quay, the same, looks empty, especially as the fingers are removed for dredging. Waiting list for over 12 metres. I was told that there has been less demand for sub 10 metre as Dry-berthing has become so popular. RR

    Chain Counter - a Winter Project

    There is an electronics company in Toronto that made me spare remotes for my passerel. I could not source them over here. He made two different interface versions too. Sensible pricing too. Mike, So pleased you managed to get the chain counter working and especially with 'voice' reporting. We...

    Engine hours

    Sounds all good to me. Black smoke will be unburnt fuel prior to turbos coming in and white smoke expected on start up. If you're getting 34 knots, happy days. :cool: RR
