Quite true, been windsurfing since i was 4 and never ever wore a lifejacket, some south west water resevoirs have it as a general rule tho. It can be a benefit when water starting to help fly the rig, but appart from that it only gets in the way. I have always thought that the board has enough...

All of the above simply confirms in my mind that the police are the most dangerous people on the streets, especially as they seem to have no clue about the law. And they wonder why the country is in such a state? i personally have VERY little time for the boys in blue.

Glad to hear that there was no major harm done - i agree about understanding threads like this. I think the answer is in the name LIFE jacket...

YESS!! I am still up now at nearly 3am because some stuck up pr!ck$ are having a party on their mobo, in the tent thing whatever they call it, with the music up full, and ignoring all complaints even from security!

Cold water shock. It is sadly a proven fact that cold water shock can kill instantly - a gasp reflex from your body hitting cold water can fill your lungs with water and its lights out. It is also proven that the waters in the UK and Ireland are cold enough to cause this reflex. So those who...

Thanks, i have a broker putting it online for me, B&O, YBW etc.. Keen to sell private for obvious reasons. I have been with boatshed before, and i didn't much enjoy the experience.

Hi, thanks for all your replies. Yes i don't want the boat anymore as its just a broken dream with some bad memories. I am hoping to get a quick sale on the boat (unlikely) and get south asap. probably after xmas now. I am still going away to do what i set out to do. I won't be taking the boat...

Unlikely END Well, i am very sad to say that my fiancee and i have broken up and gone our seperate ways. The boat is on the market.. Broken dream eh!? Thanks to all of you who gave your time to try and help us. :mad:

You can av mine for a week!? The delights of Chichester for £1500 ? :D

Thank you for the advice, yes it does open facing the bow. I do normally keep the hatches battened, but on a long trip in the sun with the motor on it may be tempting. Would you suggest reversing it?

Mysef and Hannah are sending our thoughts to those who got caught up in this disaster and their families. I am spreading the word with regards to the yacht for sale too. That post sent shivers down our spine which have not stopped in the 10 mins since reading it. It certainy can put things...

Great - some more sound advice! I like the all of the ideas above and my notepad is getting quite full! I know our boat is a good'en, much better condition that almost every other UFO i have seen. I have attached some pic's so those of you that have offered advice can see just what we are making...

Firstly thank you all for taking the time out of your lives to offer your advice, it really really is so much appreciated! Some of the advice has been totally invaluable. Several users have of course given some great advice that i would have never thought of. Aswell as helping me and Hannah i...

Great news, 1 week in mayflower caused a huge scum line around the waterline of our boat. + we awoke to a knocking on the hull, which turned out to be 1/2 a sheet of 8x4 marine ply caught between the hull and the pontoon. About time!

Tuned engines are more economical in lots of cases. The St Johns Ambulance have been tuning their's locally :)
