Hi I'm heading to Brest in the next few days and as yet haven't been able to find a PAF form or email address for them. Can anyone help please? Cheers Russ

Thanks all, and especially Sybarite. Some great ideas to work on.

I'm hoping to do the Morbihan festival next May/June, and would like some wisdom regarding stopovers from Falmouth. I don't want to do it in a oner, so thinking of three or four days. My boat is a Cornish Yawl, so capable of 6kts, but more likely to be happy at 4.5 to 5. I reckon I should...

Folks I was randomly contacted via Twitter this morning by a researcher for BBC Radio 4 PM. They want to speak to boaty types to see what the weather is where they are during the prog from 5pm, but they want them near the coast, and I'm in Brum. If anyone wants to volunteer can they please...

£75, and that includes a dory trip to get my tender back, and some stuff from their chandlery.

She was on one of the northernmost moorings, and was retrieved from Clamoak, which doesn't look that far away. A local resident saw her drifting, and went to rescue by taking her anchor to deeper water and pulling her off the bank. She was still upright at the time. They called the boatyard and...

I'm going down to Weir Quay tomorrow to see what's happened. The owner of the yard once had a Cornish Yawl, and he's sure she's fine; he'd sort of know if bits were missing. He says the mooring strop chafed through.

I heard that my boat went awol from the Cargreen mooring yesterday evening. The mooring strop broke. She's been retrieved from the mud upstream and now sits on a Weir Quay mooring. No reports of any damage so far, and she remained upright. What fun!

Thanks for the Cargreen recommendations. I'm in touch with John.

I didn't make it clear in the OP, but I'll be going away and leaving the boat alone, so not that bothered about the sights.

I'm thinking of sailing up to Plymouth in a couple of weeks time for a nose around, leaving the boat there for 10 days, then sailing back over the bank holiday weekend. I've found a couple of swinging mooring options, with about £60 difference for the period. How much of a trek is it up to...

Jill is probably easier to please than my missus.
