Hello Thanks for the plan; can you fill me in the text in the labels – came out rather small? Do you use two beams, one amidships, one aft? And only one central jack – so is the beam unsecured from 1ft to the next ft lift? Sorry about the questions but it really looks like you have good answers. Geo...

Hi That lift (and CP) look really super; do you have plans available? Working on mine – a JCA build – a small patch of what appeared to be grp sheathing came away from the keel; some rust had got underneath. Were the early boats’ keels sheathed? Must have it out next winter – so a copy of your lift ...

Hi Decisions … deci…..! Not read the safety warning articles, but when my cheapie ‘Sun-type’ cooker’s not ‘on’, the canister (with one spare) is stored on the transom in a capped plastic drainpipe off-cut (– which does look a bit like a rocket launcher!) – with ‘obligatory’ drain hole overboard. So ...

5 years ago replaced the original gas system but kept the burner pan and fiddle in which I fitted a single burner Sun (many different names) cartridge stove (currently under £10 at Towsure – product GZ38). Great for cuppas and simple meals – idiot-proof (2 switches before fuel released; in-built pie...

Well done – it’s looking good. I suppose as an option there’s no problem in sleeping on board? Would we have moorings, jetty berth or be in the boat park?

Hello Mike Will send you a template of a successful sail cover I made for the main (remember me? – you made me a very good new rudder).

Hello Sounds interesting, especially since Quadrille, now on Windermere, is s/no 60, most probably a near sibling of Samphire and under a previous owner sailed with Rutland Sailing Club under Temporary Membership No 1936 as from July1988 before finding a subsequent berth near Southampton. Weekends o...

No - that's pretty clear, and sounds like a good idea.

Terry, that’s interesting. What do you see as the difference between a saildrive and a standard outboard?
