Fly bridges in the UK

What is it about zips, blue canvas and little rubber bungees that attracts a certain sort of boater. ? and that special smell of water and hydraulic oil which announces yet another period of time ashore.
Are there forums on the dark web where they congregate to enjoy their special little peccadillos .

I've said it before. Just about every FB without at least a 4m beam is a pokey horrid affair. Say what you like but it's true. FB's have their place but not in the under 40 foot market.

I can't believe you just called my pride and joy a horrid affair. Them's fightin' words!

Damn, and there I was hoping to get the last word in.

You can step on his blue suede shoes and be rude about his parentage but do not traduce his boat ?

The really bad ones are those under 40 and on shafts. More than one onboard and the predominant words are - excuse me. skuzi moi, coming thru, mind!

I’m not sure what I’d go for next if I ever do .
Flybridge great on a real sunny day with no wind but your Billy no mates when it’s cold
Its quiet though no engine noise , think I’d sacrifice noise to be warm on a cold day .

big sports cruisers with likes of D 9/12 seem noisey to me , some of it’s the roof as sound bounces off grp , quieter with roof open .

Im sure builders could do more in the silencing dept to make a boat really quiet underway .

Such as electric motors , a big battery bank , large solar panels and a little diesel (or petrol) generator ?

That’s my biggest complaint about mine. Noise under way.
