Don't know. The area well but believe it could be an area of over falls, if so it needs studieing with care. Do not pass in any time that they are active.
Easiest way I've got out of a raft from the insides with a mobo is. Untie from the bank. Turn the whole raft round so you are now on the outsides. Leave as normal.
Long time since I've visited Strangford. Take note of what has been said.
Your better at Dublin for fuel, but it is a nightmare. Ask about but you did pay for fuel at the chandlery, then it's up a forty foot wall,Mao it's a bit tricky. Strangford is lovely and I had a few friends there. Treat...
Surprised at you Mike. Give the ronca a burial at sea, then buy a proper plow or whatever. It will last forever,if it does go a bit rusty. Give it a coat of Hammerite.
Sailing in company can be a nuisance, first you have to find a week when every one can go, then there are different speeds and different capabilities.
There used to be loads of get together organised on here. We did not travel together, but met up some where like Weymouth. That way you set off...
Of course you can, or could, there is also a buoy for visitors, or there was.
A long time since I was round that way, but there is something really special about it.
Go to the museum there and get the history pamflet.

I've been half a dozen times, it never fails to please, especially all the seals that want sex with the...
All the above is good info. Take note of LJ he knows it like the back of his hand, as I did.
Torquay and Brixham are like marmite, you may well like one better than the other take note that John and I are very similar, we avoid marinas like the plague.
There is a lot of difference between 32ft and 36ft, much depends how you handle the boat and make sure that you go to the shore with the wind blowing off.
Glad to see that the burgee has finally got sorted. Just bloody hard work getting Henry to make what you wanted, it must have been vanity that stopped him
I am still lost as to why he did not use the supplier That did an excellent job for years yet Henrys still looking for another one. A...
Hiya Sandra. As Long John said, I would not go far out of Salcolmbe in a small boat, particularly towards Bolt Head. Even towards Plymouth, it's never smooth. OK for Muckyfarter but that's another story.
So you've got fed up with Egypt, never mind Salcolmbe is a good swap, just a bit expensive...
Don't be so sure. My insurance paid out 23 grand when I sunk, because my engine mountings had been broke for years, it took the prop shaft out and that took out the back end. In my defence I'd been asking the mechanic for two years to fix whatever the problem was, but he never found it.
