princess 385.

[Guest]

does anybody have four blade props on a princess 385 with volvo 61a in (306Hp)
Also has anybody had the head lining done in the saloon and how much and by whom?

We still have three-blade props and a tatty headlining, but are interested in doing something about both, so any info you get - particularly on the headlining, which we're looking into just now, would be appreciated. If we get any other info, we'll pass it on to you. Where are you moored?

Cheers

Sorry I didn't look earlier, the head lining on another 385 was done by Jeckells at wroxham don't know how much though.
Four blade props are rare princess are not to helpful with data especially on props CJR say they have better 3 blades.
steamyjohn@aol.com said he had a lot of princess gear including head linings try him??
I sail out of Lowestoft but am moored at Brundall.
How much did you pay for fuel in belguim.

Thanks. I'll ask Jeckells how much they charge. I'm still investigating buying some fabric dye and painting it. At the end of the day, if I make a bodge job of it, we'll replace it anyway.

We didn't buy any fuel in Belgium. We filled up before we went, and then again when we got back. Neither of us could remember how much it was at Newport, so we opted to buy it here. We didn't go into Blankenberg this time out, but I seem to recall that it was quite cheap there last season.

I fuelled up in Belgium last year, they charged me £1 a gallon. (I still think in English) That was at Nuieport

Re: Nieuwpoort Diesel

We were in Belgium three weeks ago and diesel worked out at around 35ppl at the marina on the starboard side. I have been told that there is a cheaper pump elswhere in the harbour but have never found it.

Re: Nieuwpoort Diesel

Where you bought your fuel is sometimes called the 'French Marina' they are expensive but they will negotiate. The cheaper one is in the Marina on the port side known as the 'Air Force Marina' as the Belgian Air force YC is there. problem with them is the fact that there never seems to be anyone around and you can call til the cows come home on your VHF.
