We have 2 dogs so not keen on the open stern.

Yes, maybe a bit of a handful.

Almost certainly, but probably not towing on roads.

Oh yes. I remember sailing on one in the regatta in very heavy weather. It felt very solid. Good idea. Thanks.

Looks rather nice. Very beamy so lots of space. I'm too old to want to go fast!

Probably about 10K max. I do like ETAPs and Parker 235

I've got quite a bit of experience with TS. I had a Jaguar 23 on a big 4 wheel trailer and a Hunter Legend 26 on a 2 wheel trailer. The Hunter was by far the easiest to rig and launch. I towed her from the South Coast up to Scotland and sailed her for a year but found her much too flimsy for...

Sorry, should've said, I'm planning to keep the boat on its trailer in a boat park by the slipway so only using the van for launching. I think you're right though. Most would be over the weight limit for road towing.

Swallow Bay Raider, nice but again a bit on the small side. Really looking for 25'-27'.

Yes, but there are quite a few similar, but cheaper. I remember looking at them when I was buying my Jaguar.

I raced on my friend's Gem Micro, week in, week out, in Southampton water. We actually won one winter series! Bit small though, now I need a few more creature comforts.

Ballast?

Or should that be trailer sailor? We're moving down to Fowey, in Cornwall in the summer and I'm going to be getting another boat. I just sold my Varne 27 fin keel in Poole as I don't think there's a chance of getting a mooring in my lifetime. In fact, I was asking around in the pub and it seems...

I think they don't mind that at all. I do it for anything over a few miles. I'm sure they prefer that to the endless requests for a radio check! The only thing is, I sometimes forget to check in on arrival, which is really bad!

We picked up a 2" polypropylene rope going into Oban on a friend's boat. It was an old fish farm anchor rope. It took the RNLI 4 hours to free us. When the boat was hauled out, it was stomach churning to see how close we'd been to sinking. The stern tube had been ripped out and the GRP split...

I'm all for repairing stuff but when safety is the number one priority, wouldn't it be a good idea to splash out 100 quid and get a nice new trolley jack?

I don't really see why offering something for sale is so terribly wrong but we join knowing there are rules and we have to abide by them.

Nope it is changing energy. You cannot create or destroy energy. It's changing it into a different form, heat for instance.

Does anyone use Watchet Marina? Where do you go from there? We're looking at moving that way but I'm not sure there's any sailing to be done. I could always get a RIB and go to Cardiff! Experiences, good or bad?
