Kwaka,
While you are talking suppliers' special offers, have a look at the wine boxes in Netto. They are jolly good value a 3ltrs of a named grape variety & reasonable vintner for 12 squid.

Roll stabilization is now quite common on full-displacement trawlers, but there are two different ways to accomplish the task — active-fin stabilizers and paravanes. The former are wing-like appendages attached to the hull below the waterline and they move like the control surfaces of an airplane to minimize roll. Paravanes are also wing-like but they are not part of the boat’s structure and are instead towed alongside the boat, below the surface of the water.

Actually there are now 3 ways with the 3rd way being gyro stabilizers as supplied by http://www.seakeeper.com/ and http://www.antirollinggyro.com/

I'm intrigued, what the chuff are flopper stoppers/stopper floppers? Sounds like something off Bill and Ben the flowerpot men.

Google ( images ) 'flopper stoppers' and you will see some good examples!!

I have a long range motor boat 13mtr with a range of 4000 miles now that i am over 70 years i should like to exchange it for a smaller motor boat say under 28mtrs anyone out there who might be interested.
This a steel vessel with all the requirments to cruise the med or cross the atlantic it is complete with plotters radar and all navagation reouirments.

Hi Goeff I presume that the photos Tom put up are of your boat? What is she and what are the engines, or maybe just one? If that is your boat she's a great looking vessel, maybe giving us a few more details would help you do a deal with someone.

Hi longjohn silver
If You or any one would like further info on castlevar please pm me I will phone you back or e mail you this probably would be better and give you more info on the boat.
The only thing i can say about castlevar. When we returned to Carrickfergus (home port) My wife said to me that at no time in the 8 years we travelled from home and round the med she never felt in any danger or unhappy about the motion of the boat and we have been out in really big seas.
