Three have left Foxs and are currently crossing - Habebty, Jesamine and Escapade. The latter two are visible on AIS kit/apps/sites etc.

I bet Escapade has the heater on & the shed battened down

I had no idea you didn't like bowthrusters. Would you like one for your birthday?

1. Bowthrusters: one more hole in the hull than strictly necessary
2. At Roger's age, you don't do birthdays anymore. It's too depressing

1. Try to manoeuver a 30 ton long keeler with loads of windage in close quarters without a bowthruster and see how soon you get one....
2. I think his abacus has run out of beads....which may well be a euphemism

Ah, but I don't sail a 30 ton long keeler with a lot of windage.

You should hear the cavitation from his prop, makes my bowthruster seem whisper quiet. Running his engine up I thought I had a catastrophic leak and phoned the yard, they said it was likely JB's prop as they get a lot of comments.

Horses for courses, so your original comment should have been more specific, like more holes that are strictly necessary for your boat.
We love our bowthruster - especially as we opted for the hydraulic one so it doesn't run out of puff after a few squirts.

Er even 'more holes than strictly necessary, except for those who sail a 30 ton long keeler with a lot of windage'.
