I was there a couple of years ago, went against the NE wall, well fendered, there can be quite a roll comes in if any swell outside, lovely place to stay and lots of bass and mackerel to catch in the harbour if that's your kind of thing. I ended up on the Lloyds TSB advert when I was there as...

As a member of RIBC, it really does amaze me the experience, knowledge, skills and history of its members over the years, some incredible talent from boat builders, designers, sailmakers etc all from such a small club. Love hearing this sort of stuff. Back to subject was there not a Pacesetter...

Having robustly tested one of my Beneteau hull windows in a complete berthing disaster which effectively used the window to stop the boat I too can vouch for them, amazingly just a scratch which pretty much polished out, its fair to say it took a good whack. Impressive and convinces me that all...

Even better would be to buy the Yachtleg company legs second hand, hard to find, but guess what.... I have a set for sale?

Yes no probs Steve although its fair to say if you are relying on my expertise then times are hard:). Will message you for when's a good day.

Steve, as Ingwe suggests, on mine I have a short length of strong bungee attached to the end of the furling line block which is the furling line aft anchor point which seems to do the job,

I borrowed money to buy my lovely Beneteau, 4 years later im blooming glad I did, cancer at age of 48 and loan paid off via life insurance. Just imagine what my family and I would have missed out on with the memories we have from the last 4 year loving our time on the boat. If you want it and...

Have you opened the valve under the sink (assuming its the same as the 343). And just to be clear is the pump actually running?

I have a Blue Beneteau 343. The blue is a bit of a love hate relationship. I do love how it looks compared to the white version but admittedly it does need caring for. Its easy to compound it back to a beautiful blue and then 2 coats of wax will see it through most of the season. This winter the...

Lol, thought I would add to the urgency on this thread, I was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer less than a week ago, age 48, happy Christmas.! Get it bought you know it makes sense. Very glad I have bought the boats I've had over the years certainly don't regret a minute playing on them.

Wireless runs great for me.

Its just such a shame so many of them won't make it to the other end alive, what with those spade rudders, fin keels and bendytoys, don't even want to think of all the hull windows that will instantly implode as soon as they are in blue water:ROFLMAO:

The issues yesterday were a combination of 3 things. 1 Gale force winds meaning an increase in traffic- hardly the canals fault. 2 The zero notice of the two hour tidal gate at both ends. Hence 20 boats at Crinan basin. They knew the water levels were low so why not make the decision a few days...

I had the misfortune of coming through today west to east. Utter chaos, a brilliant effort by the lock keepers especially Douglas at Crinan sea lock. Round the Mull for me next time me thinks.

If that was yesterday then I do believe I was enjoying the anchorage with you (we were the one with the water obsessed dog) very pleasant evening was had.
