With much regret after many years of cruising N Brittany and N Biscay I have to give up and so can pass on very old paper charts dated from 1983 to 2002. Enough to get you from the Solent to La Rochelle. Eight Admiralty charts and nine folding French charts of larger scale and similar vintage...

The Newtown River is a beautiful place to visit to moor or anchor. Please be as generous as you can afford to be when you enjoy this glorious reserve protected by the National Trust. Even as a member we should make a worthwhile donation. We all know how much we get charged in harbours and...

I am trying to reply to you but Failing . I am in Netley and Hamble Point, 07505778986. Hope this gets through

I have a local l taker for this but cannot seem to cancel the ad. SOLD

I have a spare empty cylinder in good condition. The RYA say that Calor gas have had a change of heart and they will now supply full cylinders but only in exchange for an empty. If you would like to collect this from Hamble area it is yours. Make a donation to a charity of your choice if you get...

Where are you no other interest as yet?

This lazy tong riveter in as new boxed condition plus a selection of pop rivets including Monel metal and other rivets. I have photo I can pm to you but I have failed to reduce the file size to post it on here. Preferred collection from Hamble area. £25 would seem a bargain price.

Why in the Solent and South Coast is there a plague of yachtsmen who find it necessary to call for a radio check every time they go out on their yacht? You almost never hear professionals asking for such a check unless it is on newly installed equipment. French yachtsmen have not been afflicted...

Four section folding ladder come staging. Screwfix sell similar version for £99. This has steel platform inserts. OK for polishing topsides but I am getting too old to risk climbing and holding a polisher. Collect from Hamble area . I have no photo today but check out Screwfix for image. £50...

I have had very good recent experience with Sanders sails of Lymington and Kemp sails in the past.

Pentagon type shape with black rubber holding down clamps. May have been blown across from Hythe. 1.5m by .5m . I have photos. Now at Netley.

The acrylic is crazed and I have replaced them in my boat at vast cost. (£359). They are hinged and did not leak. Series number I believe is 393020500 Opening size 302mm by 155mm. Frames silver annodised and look good. I will hope to attach a photo showing the crazing. Complete with fixings...

A nice toy but not much use for taking crew ashore and bringing stores aboard. He will end up with a rib of some kind to cope with future charter passengers and crew.

Black fender with cover and line, found floating in Solent. 27X85 cm , so it is big and in good condition. I cannot find a yacht or motorboat in Mercury marina using this size. No Longer available

Perhaps on consideration a less superior tone is appropriate for an experienced yachtsman. The Solent is an excellent “learners pool” and there are always people getting their first days of sailing. Those who have the time and experience to go off on longer passages are very fortunate and would...

Yes more dead floating gannets than I have ever seen before on my cruising in Brittany and the West Country in previous years. I think it is probably the effects of Avian flu.

I live at Netley looking out over the water by Netley Cliff SC. I would not like to spend a night at anchor here unless the wind was in the E or NE. Even with a light SW breeze it is very lumpy off Netley. It is an interesting sail up to Marchwood YC and I believe they will welcome visitors...

Electrical contact spray on the masthead socket may solve your problem. I went up my mast on Saturday (my 76th birthday) with a spare masthead unit that I knew worked. It was not until I sprayed the masthead socket that everything started working again. Previously I had wind direction and very...
