    What is the perfect watch system?

    Really interesting stuff Pete and something I've often wondered about. Thanks. For two people crossing the atlantic/on a sustained passage, what would you advise? someone mentions 3 on 3 off for two people.

    Poole marinas / shelter

    just a quick reply to say thanks everyone. And can say that I'd recommend Salterns. Not cheap by any stretch (same price for us as Lymington YH?) but the staff couldn't help enough including helping with some friends and their car who met us there and were really friendly. Boat owners there...

    Puffin / Zaca

    Anyone experienced these from Olivier van Meer? Definitely convincing me to buy more lottery tickets. To me the ideal boat, a modern classic go anywhere, well built yacht with flexible draft. Between Olivier, Koopmans and Contest I think the Dutch definitely have me signed up somehow if I do...

    AIS Class B delays

    Read this with interest as I've just fitted a new plotter with AIS class B transceiver. Does the situation get better say for eg when you're out mid channel and their are less boats say than in the Solent? Starting to feel that perhaps AIS wasn't a great spend. But then others have said...

    35lbs Sowester Plough Anchor

    I'm not sure this is meant to be on here? But I am giving it away rather than selling. PM me if you would like to take it off me. I'll be in the Gosport (POG CSSA) area this coming Saturday

    FREE - 35lbs Sowester Plough Anchor - Gosport area

    Happy to give it away. Perhaps whoever takes it could donate £10 to the RNLI or something similar. Looks in good condition to me - has been repainted at some stage but not by me. Will be in Gosport/POG CSSA this Saturday 30th July if anyone wants to collect it.
