    Tanker Collision in the Solent.

    Re: I don\'t believe it - Is that the same MV Willy that went aground in Cawsand Bay on New Years Day 2002 and caused the the two villages of Kingsand and Cawsand to be evacuated?

    Marcon Tomahawk

    Many thanks for your hints and tips on the hull itself. Is there anything particular to look out for with the Yanmar engine - are they prone to any problems in particular? Many Thanks Woody1
