Huge Congratulation on the Launch, she looks absolutely stunning. Little question, I see 2 cameras mounted to the underneath of the cockpit canopy, they seem quite far forward, are these to assist you when docking, if so would they not be better further aft, as they look as though they might be...

Hi jfm, its been great to read the full build process of your new SL96, all the very best for the launch on the 15th, can’t wait to see her splashed. Cheers, Alistairr.

Is it possible to fit a waste holding tank to a 38 Yacht, that currently just discharges straight out to the sea? If so how easy is it to do, does it need an expert Plumber? Cheers Alistairr.

Proper Davits would be the ultimate, as you say to save taking the Outboard off everetime, however I’m sure cost would be massive, but might be worth enquiring. Which companies would I approach to make enquiries for proper Davits? Cheers.

Thanks Martin, that’s exactly how i imagined ours to be. I’ll measure the stern next time I see her. Cheers.

That’s very interesting to know, thanks. We’ve had our current Zodiac 260 for just over 20yrs and its still great, however it is a flat bottom with wooden slats, has been great in the sheltered waters we’ve used it, but now wanting to do more coastal cruising and take the dogs, we feel a keel...

Thanks, I would rather try and keep the foredeck clear. Davits off the back would be great, but I’d imagine a good pair will be mighty expensive, and do you need to reinforce the transom? Cheers.

Foredeck is an option in front of the mast, but would hinder access to the sail locker and windless. Sorry, which boat has snap davits? Cheers.

Hi All, How do you store your dinghy when out sailing, we are in the process of purchasing a 38 Bavaria, and I want to buy a new dinghy for it, on the list is the Zodiac Cadet Alu floor either 270 or 310, we want to have it easily available. Beam is 4m, however stern narrows a bit at the...

When the current owners bought the boat 7yrs ago, the cooker had never been used and all the grill pans and pan holders were still in the original packaging inside the oven, it does still look good now. Will have a look at the other items you mentioned, thanks.

Thanks Tranona, I joined the forum you mentioned and found out lots of information including about the teak decks, they say its just glued on, and a few people have successfully removed them and the glue without the need to re-gel coat the decks. This one is pretty good in 99% of it, possible a...

Measurements say yes, but will be very close, however planning on keeping this one on the Clyde for the foreseeable, but it may head north on the odd occasion. Cheers.

I phoned DC MArine, and he recommended MW Marine Surveys, so he’s booked to do ours on the 6th May. 🤞

That one is currently under offer…. to me.😀 Had the sea trial on her yesterday, just to get her surveyed and then hopefully she‘ll be ours.

Which one?
