No, Those are more modern. I mean these:The Najad 390 Sailboat

Our boat (Najad 390 1989) lost a hull window whilst alongside. Crew member put his bag on the shelf which pushed out the Perspex from the frame. I thought the rectangular portlights were designed in such a way that this couldn't happen but they are not. We carry 5 spare plywood blanks that can...

Certainly on my radar for next summer. Difficult to pin down when exactly but planning to retire (again!) May.

NBJS : no bullshit just sailing - for those interested in North Sea, Norway, Iceland, Scotland. It's noticeable how some channels have gained sponsorship as their popularity has grown. You start to notice new gear, equipment, oilies etc. The earlier "Adventures of an old sea dog" were worth...

A mix of 1 litre and 5 litre bottles. Forget the flexi tank. Take a 25 litre container for when you can get to a tap but the tap isn’t reachable directly from the boat.

Let us know if it arrives. I’ve just been reading the sellers one star reviews.

Getting back to the original question: 39ft takes me a one day each side with a mix of hand and electric buffing. I have a platform but there’s a catch. It’s impossible to get the platform between the boats unless I wait until after the neighbours are launched. Last year I was able to do one...

When packing up the boat for the winter and taking stuff home you may want to consider taking some additional items: Oil lantern and oil Torches including head torches Generator Boat BBQ Sleeping bags and duvets Any other suggestions?

New cooker

I suspect we are about to see a hike in prices generally. The slide in the pound following the mini budget will put up the price of petrol/diesel. That in turn will create another increase in prices and inflation. Consequently another increase in the base rate. That will make government...

Imagine if the show had stayed open but numerous exhibitors closed. I wonder if they canvassed the exhibitors.

I’ve only just seen this thread so apologies if I’ve missed the bits about the prop. If the prop is a feathering prop it’s possible the stop inside the hub has broken. Depending where it is jammed will affect the pitch of the prop. It’s possible the pitch has now significantly increased and the...

Good spot. Guilty

Have you tasted the water? If water has leaked from somewhere else it's possible it's been trapped in place until the boat gets healed, slammed etc. So taste test. In addition thoroughly dry the bilge area and sprinkle something like flour down. Go motoring around and watch the flour. I would...
