Finally new gas cooker

Yes finishing off the boat for the summer sail to Portugal to new berth in Nazare and living there without a divided population is very friendly and cheap - so I agree with your postscript.

Berth Hamble point £11,500, Parkstone YC £4,600, Nazare €1,600. !!

Sailfree, how is nazare at the moment? Is Alec still building crazy contraptions in the yard? Has Dody got Tonga back in the water yet? And are all the mental crew from Avo Richardo still alive? Excuse the thread highjack.

I am just so much better off living in a nicer climate in Nazare I just wish things were better in UK for my children/granchildren.

Duster wont be welcome with all his guns.

Can't answer your questions as only joined the YC there at present and paid 2017 berthing fee which was cheaper to pay for 12 months than visitors rate for September to December.

Will know more once we arrive with boat.

Eat regularly at Marina restaurant - great food.
 
ENO grand large 3 burner with grill now bought.

FORCE 10 are better made, heavier construction has better burners, and thermostatic controlled oven but is twice the price.

Point made by specialist (He stocked both) that if the standard ENO that was supplied with the boat has satisfied us for last 12yrs do we need the better quality one.

As I can buy literally 2 ENOs for 1 Force 10 I decided on ENO plus Force 10 have been taken over by ENO so their range of models may possibly change.

Thanks for everyone's input.

Just got to fit it now.

There was a Force 10 budget version at £800 to £1000 anyone know anything of this model it can be viewed on Mailspeed Marine site but this version is not stocked anymore according to their call centre and the trail has gone cold on Google.

The UK importer and distributor of both Force 10 and ENO is Penguin at Hayling Island. I looked at their price list and Force 10 models they stock started at £1600.

Penguin advise that as € rate necessitates them increasin prices as at present they are selling stock almost at replacement cost as bought at €1.20 and future stocK will be €1.10 - welcome to Brexit.

In researching these many websites come up and when you search they say no items. Just leave the link word to get you to their website.

This looks like a different model certainly the oven handle is not the usual type.

Can only suggest you contact penguin the importer.

I bought a 3 burner with grill so if they import this one they would not have shown me the price.

The advantage of Force 10 is the burners thermostatic oven and heavier construction. As they are now owned by ENO make sure it is not a cheaper cooker sold under the brand Force 10.

People living on boats can justify the extra cost but I could not.
 
Sailfree I think this model was sold here some time ago and as the company has changed hands it could possibly be back in some form as price dictates the number of units sold.
