We had our Walker Bay 8 stolen last year, and with it went some of the WB8 sail kit. We've still got most of the parts of the full sail kit, but no WB8 to put them on, so they're now for sale. If you were to buy these parts from me at my asking price, and the outstanding parts from Seamark Nunn (as ...

Additional information on this sail: Leach 1 Head->Clew = 957cm Leach 2 Head->Tack = 977cm Foot Clew->Tack = 540cm The makers of the sail, Crusader Sails, said this about it: "It's most likely a symmetrical spinnaker that's been recut by taking a bit off the foot. It's possible it was made as a...

Here's my account of our West entrance arrival:

And here's my account of our departure:

Yep, that's exactly what we did too. Scary being so close to the massive cross-channel boats, especially when told to hold position in the same location as one of them, while another one came in the East entrance! (Think there's a picture of part of this in my blog, I'll dig out a link and post it).

Hi Rob, thanks for asking. I've actually recently been back aboard and with a fresh head have decided I can take on some of the work myself. If I can do it I can save us many £ks literally so it's worth a shot. I've even rather confidently already paid our harbour dues for 2012! I think realisticall...

That's terrible! I hope your legal action is successful. Thank you for taking the time to post this information.

Hi Rob. Same here but I think we can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. Hope to be back in the water on Friday if all goes to plan. What's gone wrong with yours?

It's gorgeous this AM. Over an inch of fresh snow on deck. One of the photos below shows what it looked like when I opened the saloon hatch. I got snow on my clothes while taking the pictures and went to great lengths to brush it all off (additional water inside = more condensation). During the brus...

Well the wedding went relatively smoothly, and after the slight hiccup of missing our flight (long boring story), so did the honeymoon. Rose's plan for an autumn wedding worked out well and we even managed to have our humanist ceremony outside at her family farm as planned, thanks to a timely weathe...

Depends upon the size, weight, type of keel, and location. For us in a 31 foot fin keeler, south coast UK, it's about £100 to be lifted out and back in, if you don't leave the hoist. So about the same price as hiring your ROVs

Liking the idea of posting topic snippets with "full article here..." links. Adding more and more individual fora for specifics just doesn't work unfortunately. When we first opening the forum we had _loads_ of them, including regional ones. Problem is that all the information is too segre...

Thank you for the ideas.
