I have not been on this forum for ages andcwas not sure if this post went. Can abyone tell me if they have tried to use Calgon in the heads to remove calcification. Also is there an alternative outflow pipe of the correct diameter for a Blakes Seacock, if I cant find pipe like the concertina or...

yesterday I serviced all the component gaskets etc in my heads but now consider replacing the outflow pipe but hascanyonevflushwd through Calgon to remove that calcification? If not, is there any reason why a concertina type hose is used. Could a similar flexible hose be utilised. Thanks for...

Because of Coronavirus and Lockdown can I use a hanging anode. If so, I have a spare shaft anode can I attach a spare shroud wire to my anode then fix that to one of my stanchions. Will that work?

Thanks all of you, so its another bit of elbow grease. It has nothing to do with sailing as I have been for the last three months! It just grows when it wants to. I will get some pan scourers and go and dry out soon. I just thought there might be some new antifoul which would halt or slow down...

Good day ladies and gents. I have Coppercoated my boat but regardless of burnishing the Coppercoat occasionally I still get waterline weed, can I antifoul on top of the coppercoat down from the waterline about 4 inches. Will it stay on and be effective? Thanks.

Daydream believer, yours is the most positive answer I have had so far. I would very much appreciate you measuring the mast for me as the person requesting the information lives a few thousand miles from Britain, speaking another language. Thank you in anticipation. Could you leave the answer as...

Hello Sandy, it's not for me but for a friend who wants an accurate measurement so if perhaps another 25.5 owner currently has their mast down and could measure it, that would be great. I imagine maybe that the person want to replace the mast.

Good day all, could someone please tell me the full height measurement for a Hustler 25.5 Mast. Thanks. Not the 'I' measurement as that is to the top block or sheave but the mast length itself. Thanks

Good evening Ladies and gents, I have a friend who very kindly took on renovating a Mirage 28 for a very ill friend. He has done a great deal of work to the boat and has managed to sell for the family at a low price and to help the new owner has asked if anyone could help find a 10.60metre Genoa...
