What did you enjoy throwing away?

[Porthandbuoy]

Letters from a private parking company demanding payment. Delivered by regular mail so no proof of delivery/receipt.

 

[oilybilge]

A rat's nest of T&E, chocolate blocks, inline fuses and corrosion beneath a seat in the cabin. Replacing it was like yoga.

Also the fisherman's anchor in the cockpit locker but that goes without saying.

Did you ask the fisherman first?

 

[RogerJolly]

A Rippingilles stove​

Was one of those what they chucked overboard in the Riddle of the Sands?

 

[Clancy Moped]

Chucking my old office keys in on a ferry from Nice to Calvi, Corsica.

I think I would rather have thrown Carruthers and his suitcases overboard.

 

[Snowgoose-1]

A plough anchor on a new to me boat. After 30 years with never dragging using a plough this damn thing would never set.

Great feeling hurling the damn thing into a metal skip in the yard.

[wombat88]

An Osokool, smelt of rancid butter, somewhere off Ushant.

 

[RunAgroundHard]

A Fiat Regatta. The shittiest of shitty cars that I have owned over the years.

I had to look that up, though it might be a cheese

 

[Daedelus]

A heavily corroded element from a heater in the calorifier which tripped the RCD and which was the total pits to remove.

 

[Bouba]

Fuel tank

 

[ProDave]

I know someone that chucked a rifle overboard after finding it in the loft of the house he had just bought, because he could not face the paperwork and questioning if he had taken it to the police.

 

[Sianna]

a few (now ex) wives

 

[DanTribe]

A Stuart Turner.

I had a young lad helping me tidy the boat. He kept asking "what is this for?"
"No idea, chuck it away and we'll soon find out"

 

[TLouth7]

A defunct Volvo Penta 2002 (actually sold for spares rather than chucked).

 

[capnsensible]

A defunct Volvo Penta 2002 (actually sold for spares rather than chucked).

That reminds me.....British Leyland 1.5 engine plus Thames Marine Producte Gearbox. Swapped out for a shiny new Yanmar.

 

[steveeasy]

My seagull outboard after letting me down so many times and covering me in fuel each time I moved it.

[Stemar]

An MD1 engine. The (free) VP2003 that replaced it required serious surgery to the companionway steps to squeeze it in, but it was still going strong when we sold the boat 15 years later. A Snapdragon 24 don't arf go with 28 horses under the bonnet
