I had a quote just before Christmas, 2 options, Moody47 - Total integration into pushpit - £4K (like the one built on Ryan & Sophie YouTube) - Attach to our existing pushpit - £2k Fabricator is based in Chichester Marina - Chris, CB Marine. Going to go ahead with the £2k option.

I've lived in 2 marinas on the south-coast (Solent area) and I'v let them both know that I was going to be a live aboard although they stated that they don't allow liveaboards, both were very happy to take my money and look the other way. I think that the key to being a liveaboard in a marina is...

The exhaust is just under 5m and no silencer. I've also discovered a condensation drain at the low point in an exhaust elbow. All this has made me decide to go ahead and replace like for like. Once again, thanks for all the advice and suggestions. As has been mentioned, its been there for 30...

Wow, great response and thanks, some great comments. The issue stated by said installers was the distance the exhaust currently runs from the engine room (under centre cockpit) to the transom. We only have 2 outlets, one in the aft cabin and one in the main salon which is fine. I understand...

Hi, I have a Webasto diesel heater fitted in the engine room under the centre cockpit on our Moody. The boats heater has been installed in that location from new for nearly 30 years (Now on 3rd heater unit). The exhaust pipe runs out under the floor boards and exits at the transom, with 2 hot...

I've just read your post and wondered if you went ahead with the water maker from Nautilus (Simple 60). Thinking about it ourselves and would like to know how you got on / outcome, and or if you have any advice. Many Thanks

Thanks, they're on my list.

Great, I like a recommendation, thanks

Thanks, that's a great start and local too. I shall go and investigate..... Thanks again.

Hello all, I'm looking for a person or company who has experience of fabricating stainless steal solar arches in the Solent area. Has anyone got any recommendations or suggestions or experiences welcomed. It's a fairly large one to be fitted to a Moody 47. ( Based in Southsea ) Many...

Great suggestion, thanks, I've just posted on the forum.

I guess this is a request for any information that anyone many have on the Moody Marksman 47 (&50) built between 88-91 in Southampton. I know they were built and fitted out by Moody, but not a lot else. Wondered if anyone has owned one or knows anything about them or can point me in the...

Hello, I'm bringing a boat back from Lelystad in the Ijsselmeer, to the Solent in April and looking for a cursing guide / pilot book. Any suggestions as I'm hearing mixed reviews of the CRUISING GUIDE TO THE NETHERLANDS by Brian Navin. Any tips and advice welcomed. Thanks in advance

As it stands I’m planning on departing from Falmouth. Route will largely depending on conditions ... closest to the rhumb line ideally but expecting that I’ll do what the wind lets me do. I’m keen to keep out of Biscay though. I know many say head south then west. I’m not decided yet. This is...

This has not been ruled to, although I do like the idea of jumping off from Baltimore too, it's also a lovely place having visited in the past, all be it by road.
