    What boat / sailing wellies do you use?

    Hi alt, Buy regular wellies for the boat yard and Sperry (The Flex Deck Sneaker) for on board the boat. They look smart, are anti-slip and will be sure to impress your friends and visitors alike! The Dubarry factory may be near you, but their footwear looks a bit clonky. The website is...

    Heating for a 31ft 2 cabin boat.

    My advice is to put heat into the heads - if you get very chilled and pop in for a hot shower, there is nothing more luxurious than nice warm surroundings. I would even go for a heated towel rail if your proposed system could support one. Why Not

    Heads up - Million Pound Megayachts Ch4

    What on earth is that??

    Cruise-in-Company (with pics)

    Yes, Dustywings - that is a Ranger, but she's longer than 36 ft. I have a great photograph of her which I will post when I locate it. She's a very fast cruiser.
