Oi Mr T!

Sailors do it in Mr Tinkles!!!!!!!!!!

Tinkles and Amazons on the east coast or perhaps

Swallows and tinkles on the east coast or

We birthed in Mr Tinkles and didnt touch the sides or

Mr Tinkles always provides his own protection 4 per side



could go on but got other less interesting things to do
 
He could set up a Facebook and MySpace account for Mr Tinkles, then after a few beers get thoroughly confused and start telling people to come on MyFace with Mr Tinkles...... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

If this forecast is correct, I think I'll join you in opting out of this weekend /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

SATURDAY:

An unstable Polar Maritime airmass covers the British Isles through the course of Saturday. However, a ridge builds into Ireland and this will have the effect of forcing the troughs further eastwards into the North Sea, and I suspect that most of the influence of the troughs will be to the north and east.

There will be frequent wintry showers across northern and eastern parts of Scotland, as well as the east of England. The showers are going to be wintry at times, with snow even to lower levels at times. Gradually through the day the showers should become more scattered as they get pushed east by the ridge of high pressure.

For more western areas there will be heavy showers too, and again these could be wintry. The showers becoming more isolated into the afternoon and there will be sunny spells between the showers throughout. Much of Ireland should become dry.

Winds will be NW 25-35 (F6-F 8 ) along eastern coasts, nearer NW 20-30 (F6-F7) further west, although these winds easing later to a NW 18-25 (F5-F6).

SUNDAY:

The ridge of high pressure from Saturday afternoon is only a transitory feature. By the middle of the day on Sunday a deep area of low pressure is centred to the north of Scotland and this is going to be blowing fronts eastwards during the course of the day.

A very windy day with severe gales possible for many.

A fair start through the far southeast of the country, with some sunny spells here. Rain will be falling through Ireland and western Scotland in the morning, heavy at times, and this is going to be sweeping eastwards into the afternoon. Some of the rain may be heavy over the hills of northern England and Wales. Persistent showers and long spells of rain for the north of Scotland too.

Behind the cold front an improvement should occur, there will be sunny spells and a scattering of showers, some of them heavy at times.

Note that the timing of the fronts is unclear at the present time and so keep a close eye on the forecasts.

Winds will be SW 12kt (F4) in the southeast at first, quickly increasing to a SW 25-35 (F6-F 8 ) with gusts to gale force, and to severe gale force in the west and north. Behind the cold front the

winds become W 25-30 (F6-F7).
 
The weather is last in the queue at the moment. Had a call from Shotley to say that the kiwi locking nut is the wrong size. M16 or M20 x 1.5 is standard. M18 as fitted on Mr.T is not. It is the first M18 prop thread Martin has seen and caused not small amounts of headscratching by Alan Pollard (who is an exceptionally helpful chap it has to be said), and meant a diversion (thankfully on the way to Port Talbot) to Vectamarine to get the old lock nut measured. No-ones fault, just one of those things. Leigh on Solent engineering company making one up today, in the post to arrive Shotley Friday which leaves enough time to get her in the water and the engine recommissioned, then Saturday sails on, engine testing and test sail on Saturday before even thinking about Sunday. What did you say about the weather ???????
