Re: Bav vs Jen ....

Whispers of dissent in the Bav camp after SBS ... Jen SO 40 seems to have impressed a few wayward souls .... pity that its a Jen though .... sorry I'm not a follower - can't afford them !!!!! I keep to cheaper older classics .... Oh sod it - what did I say !!!!!

Who cares what your angle of heel is! You know if it's too steep, and how do you ever get these vertical anyway.

A paradox indeed.........

Like the curate's egg, a GPS has good bits and bad bits. Some days I like the good bits; on others, like today, I rue the bad.

Re: A paradox indeed.........

GPS ..... a vast improvement on the old Transit system I used commercially ......

I love GPS when I want to play with it ....

I hate GPS when it fails to log in when I really need it

I rarely actually use it seriously on the boat, it just sits there in its bracket, cable stopping me putting the wash-boards in, and well, giving information that normally is not needed !

Re: Oil extractor

I gave a good pull on one of these blinking objects and coated me, new upholstery and new curtains in old engine oil. It was so awful I wasn't really upset. Beyond upset, there is another land, populated by unhappy men covered in oil.

Disagree Joe, mine has been in constant use this summer, admittedly I have on occasions topped it up with hot water from the kettle. It's one of the most used items on board, now on my third.

I saw a squaddy with a hot disposable BBQ on the nice teak deck of his COs Najad yacht. It burnt a very nasty hole...probably in his creer hopes.

New cooker

This was my Christmas present. Purchased this year in April/May in Portsmouth somewhere. No oven - to fit space occupied by previous cooker for 10+ years. Already rusted in all sorts of places a marine cooker shouldn't rust.

Re:Waste of space

It's got to be the Q flag had the bloody thing three years and used it once !...closely followed by the French curtesy flag which is now used as a dish cloth......sorry nothing personal ;-)
