I purchased a new Mercury 4hp 4 stroke engine and its great! Lots of room in the well, but as you say the cover does not close (think it will need lifting a few inches). The new engine pushes the boat along much better than the two stroke. At just above start position (i.e. tick over) the boat does ...

I am unsure as to how both ropes should be rigged down the mast. the main seems quite easy up the outside of the mast, round the wheel and down the inside. The t...

I currently sail her in the north sea just off Sunderland, but wish to trail her to different...
