Could I ask that anyone considering scuttling their boat fitted with ST30 winches, removes them first and gives them to me after the...

I shouldn't think that many boats are stuffed full of (heavy) buckets. A bucket of water in the sea weighs nothing. I thought you might...

Most multis are designed to be ‘unsinkable’, ie there is buoyancy built in to the structure. Usually collision bulkheads forward double...
