    Visiting Cowes or the Folly this weekend

    Winter/Xmas sun. Canaries or Gib?

    I live on the Costa Calida, Fairly North Of Gib. Lots of winter sunshine and sailing. Wind pipes up in the afternoons

    On buying a Spanish registered yacht

    Thanks Tranona, that's interesting. (And good news). Most of what I got so far is from the Cruising Association and Frank Singleton but it's highly likely that I've missed or misunderstood something. I'll be in Spain next week and will get into it more. Thanks again

    On buying a Spanish registered yacht

    Not strictly Liveaboard but looking for experiences. I've done some quick searches but haven't found the answer to this question yet. I'm a UK citizen close to going to buy a house and take up residency in Spain. I would also want to own a boat there. Given that I would be classed as a resident...

    I have three boats lined up to view tomorrow. One in Chi and two in Soton. But would like to, (need to), maximise the day. Is there a site nowadays that covers all the brokerages, in the same mould as "Rightmove" for property? My son has trawled Boats & Outboards but I'm not sure if they're all...

    Outboard mount

    Is this of use to anybody, before I discard it? It came from a small Achilles but might be adapted for another soft tailed dinghy? Free to collector

    What scares you most when sailing?

    Falling off the edge of the world. That's why I never managed further than N. Brittany. I heard that the earth is still flat there.

    Volvo engine service, Chichester marina

    Warren Butlen WB Marine has been doing good work for me on various diesels since 1993. 07860 446 199. He was even waiting to take my lines when I had to return to Chi with a diesel leak whilst on my way to an SB weekend!

    REALLY annoying

    I don't see them either. Is that a function of MS Edge perhaps? I haven't loaded any special applications. Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned it, I can imagine them zeroing in on me now, like something out of Marvel...
