If you look at the technical data I think you’ll find the adhesion properties of 3M 5200 are significantly better than the other products mentioned. At least that was the case when I made the decision. The bumper strip had for some time been loose- whatever BAV original used wasn’t fit for...

I used 3M 5200 to refix the plastic bumper strip to the GRP transom- still good after 7 years.

Hanse 370 is a modern boat & I’m very surprised it’s subject to Osmosis. I thought Osmosis was a something that affected 70’s / 80’s boats?

Or take your paperwork to any Post Office and pay!

Thanks Ian - very useful information. Something to give serious consideration to over the winter.

An interesting thread. We’re getting to the age to consider electric. We rarely plug into shore power, relying on engine/ solar charging. I see one can buy a solar / 12v charger. How long would it take to charge from the boat 12v supply?

Try Baseline Marine https://www.baselinemarine.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=133&cat=Countersunk+Machine+Screws A4 csk set screws at a reasonable price.

Bear in mind that the BS of 18mm nylon is approx 50% more than 16mm.

Unless you’ve got a huge boat your unlikely to get much, if any stretch from 18mm nylon!

Yngmar has re-registered me using a different email address and I’m back on the forum. Many thanks.

Yes- I contacted him via a PM through this forum, being unable to log onto the Bav Forum!

I’ve contacted Yngmar, the BAV Forum administrator. Apparently it’s Google that have stopped anyone with an gmail address using the forum. It’s not going to change. The only way around is not to use a gmail address! Don’t you just love big unaccountable corporations!

I think there’s a misunderstanding here. The Greeks will issue a non Vat paid boat with a Transit Log. It sounds as if they don’t accept your friends VAT status so should issue a TL. This limits the boat to 18months in Greek waters. If the boat is laid up ashore, deposit the boats papers with...

I’ve used the Free Bavaria Forum (Bavaria Yacht Info - Index) for many years, but am now not allowed to log on because I have a gmail address. Has anyone else had the same problem?

Thanks for the replies. I need the gas spring and Selden end fittings. Boat is in Greece- I’ll buy the parts when back in uk.

The Gas Spring on my Selden Rod Kicker has failed. The plastic fitting on the piston end unscrews. On the cylinder end the plastic fitting rotates but doesn’t unscrew- How do I remove it?

I have whipped and sewn eye splices on my Traveller control line. Never had a problem.

Clean well then spray with either PTFE or Silicone. Normally last 2 months, then needs repeating.

I think you’ll find it’s a town quay, rebranded Marina, so they can charge more! That’s becoming increasingly common. No mooring lines or security. At Argostoli, Kefelonia, there’s an ‘unfinished’ Marina, which is free. Side to mooring but no security or other facilities. It is however...

The nearest yard is at Oreoi on north Evia. It has a good reputation & the adjacent harbour is good for doing pre-haul jobs. I’m not sure how you get back to Skiathos, but I’m sure the yard will tell you.
