To the OP are you able to reach hull speed of the boat with the maximum revs obtainable If so then it would appear you are over propped, if not then fouling is likely the problem. Due to other commitments Sunset had very little use this winter, spent a lot of time sitting in the brackish water...

According to the article I read, and have quoted there is this bit. has undergone stability testing by Lloyd’s Register for compliance with the new Recreational Craft Directive Category B for use in wind speeds up to force 8 and wave heights up to 4 meters.

There you go. not heard of RCD before so just looked this up. The Seaward 25 is designed for use offshore and cross Channel and has undergone stability testing by Lloyd’s Register for compliance with the new Recreational Craft Directive Category B for use in wind speeds up to force 8 and wave...

I have a seaward 25 and they are more than capable of channel crossings. If you don't want to watch the whole Vid go to 4 minutes in

I have recently done the same. The thought of going forward in 25 knots of wind mid channel has no appeal any more. I sold my swing mooring, and Westerly Storm, and now keep a motor boat in a marina. Planned on taking it through the canals to Paris last year but it never happened, and this...

I sometimes use Passage Weather. It's free but occasionally it will ask for a donation.

What about putting on a boot top.

Yes very good info. Using his tips I bought my 22 year old Westerly storm from a neglected drab matt white, and a very oxidised blue stripe to showroom conditions. Wash down with oxalic acid and boat shampoo, rinsed off. Armed with my Dodo juice spin doctor polisher and about 300 pounds worth...

First come first served, maybe they do take up a lot of room, but in small anchorages it is over crowding that causes the problems. there is always someone who feels they can squeeze themselves in. Then the next morning when you want to leave early you find their chain has crossed over yours, or...
