Ann Robinson

You could try mounting Ann Robinson on the mast. It may be illegal, and would most certainly be in very bad taste, but she would scare almost anything away, with the possible exception of the ex-host of 'Have I Got News For You'.

Don't know, but if you get her phone number, pass it on!

Easy-peasy

It's the sound of built-in obsolesence. It used to be a feature of Lancia cars, too.

Re: Ann Robinson

Bllody hell Ken, if you think I'd mount Anne anywhere, never mind in public view up a mast, you're even more twisted than Ah kent!! Perhaps thats why all these old boats have figure heads, did they depict the Anne Robinsons of the day in order to scare off the purple poopers? Does yours have one?

It\'s the cracking of all those glass fibres NM

Assuming this is only audible at anchor, then I have always understood the noise to be the sound of shells and/or shingle being washed around on the gentle surge/swell in those harbours.

The queiter the anchorage the louder it is.

It rarely rains for longer than four hours........

I was in Ireland for a week last month and it only rained twice,,once for 4 days and once for 3 days.

I only come here because occasionally people talk about boating<s>
