I can't find any reviews of the Contessa 32 from the last 6 months. Why won't Yachting Monthly publish a test comparing it to some recent boats?

Provided she is a Pukka Memsahib, that is acceptable.

Are there any problems post 2016 in owning a French boat in the UK.

Some of the natives might seem a little strange.

I've never been in a boat before but want to sell my caravan and sail solo around the world. What is the best 40-50' boat for £30,000. I want to leave in four weeks.

Someone asked last week?

Are there any insurance companies that will insure me for a singlehanded crossing of Biscay in my Centaur in January, I have a competent crew certificate.

If the boat's arockin' ...

Knock Knock !!

Sure the most frequent question asked by sailors in days gone by that you don't hear anymore is "Where the hell are we?"

That was the dominant concern. You have to have very heavily tinted rose colour specs to hanker after the days of DR, Consol, RDF, etc.

Can anyone tell me if my Ford Prefect , roof and roof rack , can take the weight of a Silhouette Mk1 hull, mast and Seagull 40+.

[Wansworth]

How can I dry out my kapok life jackets.?

 

[Lightwave395]

Should I do the Golden Globe race in my Andersen 22 ?

 

[dunedin]

Will the recent racers fad for long sloping bows, caused by the new International Metre Rule, be copied by cruising yachts?
Surely everybody knows that any seamanlike cruising yacht has a plumb bow and a modest bowsprit!

 

[RivalRedwing]

will fibreglass hulls replace wood for the cruising man?

They say there is no maintenance ?

 

[rotrax]

What are the best containers for safely storing the oil for my navigation lamps?

Is there a better place for keeping the coal than the Forepeak? My two permanant crew who also live there are telling me it makes their sleeping space lumpy.

 

[Just_sayin']

Daphne and I are off to the London Boat Show next week to buy a Mirror dinghy kit.

I have checked with British Rail and they are happy to put it in with the freight at the back of the train.

My question is; which outboard to buy?

Seagull obviously but I have heard the Japanese are making frankly ludicrous claims about their new range.

Clean, quiet, easy to start … AN OUTBOARD ! Hah.

Anyone with any direct experience please call me on Hindhead 792

Many thanks.
