    Digital multimeter

    My multimeter has died. It was only a cheapie but has done as much as my limited knowledge has needed for a number of years. I would like to hear what current makes you think are good value. I'll leave the other bad puns up to you, but any recommendations gratefully received. Thanks.

    Preparation of a yacht to sell

    How much would you do? Would you expect it to be anti fouled, polished, squeaky clean, or would you be happy to take on the work? I am talking about sub £10k boats.

    Wells Harbour. Wind Farm vessels

    Is there any update on the future of the outer harbour now that the wind farm no longer wish to operate from Wells? I should think that the loss of revenue will be difficult to recover, even if it's opened up to leisure users. Operating the dredger can't be cheap, and possibly not sustainable...

    East Coast no more

    Well, we finally moved from East to West. Now in West Wales, Milford Haven to be precise. Looking forward to new adventures with deeper water under the keel. I believe Full Circle came this way but from once being a prolific poster now seems to have disappeared. Have fun with the new normal.

    Setting up a Mast

    Today my yacht made the trip by road from Grimsby where the HCA Berthmaster had kindly removed the mast for transport to Milford Haven. We got the mast up but I think I need a bit of advice on how to tension the rigging. Simple masthead, twin backstays, roller reefing, uppers and two stays each...

    Selling a boat contrary to rules

    I seem to have had a thread deleted. Having not said what or where, and asking for advice on what to include or not I am amazed. What's going on with moderation when you can get away with all sorts of personal abuse yet can't seem to get a view of ordinary boat owners. I don't post much, and...

    Knowsley Sheet Winches and Barton Winchers

    I want to fit Barton Winchers to my Knowsley sheet winches. Yesterday I measured the winches across the top at 100mm or 4 inches in old money. When I got home ( 70 miles) I find that the measurement that I need is the diameter of the drum, not across the top lip. Bother. I will not be going back...
