Not mine as I've just sold it after 10,000 sea miles without any electrics on deck, except navlights of course. How come you found this site? Searching for disparaging comments or not quite the tough sea-dog you like to think you are? Your avatar shows your boat on a pontoon - bit of a soft option, doncha think?

Oohh, who got out the wrong side of the bed this morning?
Peeps often post info about sites they've come across for the interest and/or amusement of others. I didn't see any disparaging comment in Dyflin's post. Anyway, he's a professional seafarer so probably a darned sight saltier than you! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I only wish I had the guts of twenty grand to spend on something like this...
(PS. the photo was taken after the boat was craned in and put onto the pontoon by the yard, just afterwards we kedged her off the berth and then beat the whole way out of the estuary against wind and tide before using the storm jib to collect rain water for a cold black coffee and burgoo supper, the tough old sea dogs we are...)

Amusement of others does not equal slagging off owners of particular boats. As for professional status, do you think taxi drivers are better drivers than you.
