We packed up and loaded the boat for the 80km trip to Maasmechlen Village our first proper trip on her and a good test to see if my wife would like it. We shared the driving of the boat with myself doing the lion's share of it, we left at 12:30 and arrived in Bocholt at roughly 16:20 for about...

And so it begins. Casper, yesterday, looking lonely and unloved, waiting for a clear spell to get the tent off and give it a good clean. Casper is getting a small make over, not as in depth as @kashurst is doing to his boat but still she needs updating. While the weather is being inclement...

I'm looking for 4 stainless steel and teak cleats, I been searching on the interwebs for a while but can't find anything like this: The ones on the boat were originally chromed with the teak bar through them, the teak has gone on 3 of them and all 4 have lost the chrome so looking to replace...

Was reading a report today about how using satellites they have shown that 75% of industrial fishing boats (boats greater than 20m) are hidden and that 25% of transport and energy vessels are unreported, that sounds like a huge unrecognised fleet of ships plying their trade on the high seas...

One thing I cannot find on the Navionics/Garmin Boating app is a night mode, I have had a look at the Navionics/Garmin support and find no mention of it there either, anyone know if it is an option on the app(Android)? Last night coming back from a day out on the boat we had to wait while a...

Hi collective. I just bought what was advertised as a Waterland 700, it did not look like one to me and still the documents that came with the boat said it was a Waterland 700. Today when registering the boat I ran into some problems with the numbers, not the registration number which is fine...

We went out for lunch today at the Waterkant in Kerkhoven on the way there we found the tarmacked canal path was blocked so we went over the canal bridge and up the other side of the canal where it was a rough stone track, we almost got to the next bridge to cross back to the other side where...

Just booked up a Powerboat Level 2 for my wife and myself in Largs this September. Wife is quite excited about it, it's amazing what a day out in some rough-ish weather on a lake and canals in Holland has done to her, It was a good idea to let her take the helm :) As she suffers from...

My wife is getting a bit more comfortable with the thought of a boat... Was watching this video last night... And she pipes up I want to go out on her, so I had to book flights over to the UK and next Saturday we are off on a round trip to Tighnabruaichm, much like my late uncle in the 1950s...

On reading @JOHNPEET 's thread on building his boat it made me wonder about generators onboard boats: When we were building our offroad command and control vehicles we always had difficulty in sourcing 240V AC gensets that would deliver the required 240V at 50Hz, we found so many were made to...

First post here, been away from the sea for a long time but my family have had a long association with the sea and boats/ships. My younger brother passed away a few years ago, he was a radio officer latterly on an oil rig but when ashore he loved to fish and he had bought a Honda 4hp 4stroke...
