Quick question about Bruce's yard Faro

[James Marinero]

And normal draught (draft?). I hauled out there to be told by Joana that the previous deepest boat they'd handled was 2.3m draught - I need more than 2.8m (9'). The approach was hairy on a big spring tide after HW and my es show 2.7 m at one point. Then my engine refused to go astern... wind WSW F5+... All's well that ends in a glass of wine!

but there's an Aki (similar to B & Q) close by with cheap own brand tools including grinders, no problem exchanging under guarantee when they burn out

Aki is very handy, but is there anywhere does sandpaper in rolls instead of by the sheet? Like a little local ferriterea in town?

Most things are available around the area and easy train and bus services to other places. Car hire very cheap in winter, starts around 30 euro/week.

May I add one.
What address should one use to have bits delivered to a boat in Bruce's yard?
Will be there on Wednesday.

Do not put 'Nave Pegos' anywhere as its Bruces company name & they try & stick him for taxes.

Good idea...................you start it Yep Sergio Roque has everything you need for working on your boat here in the yard. One of the staff, Paulo I think, has a wee boat here & will bring stuff down to you.

Can anyone tell me the approx charges for a 10.5m boat there in the yard?

Thanks, some subtle differences there, do they matter?

I have seen that address but everyone uses the one I posted. Never had a problem with deliveries.
