The bravest thing was posting your purchase on here, I would have kept quiet and kept it between you and your surveyors.

I always understood that there was a rubbish issue with BBQ’s and people wandering around what was a working farm many years ago that started this situation off. Anyway what some see a selfish control by the land owners preserves the unspoiled nature of the area. It’s not exactly miles of...

Went in twice last year on 1.5m draft, keel was probably in the mud at low tide. The new showers are ok.

I think the A12 would be the biggest problem, 2 sets of roadworks @ 40mph again at the moment.

Point missed ….

Pity that their berth holders have to find out on here.

No point mooring there then. What happens if there is a problem with a boat.

Jeckells - ordered genoa, main and mizzen. They visited the boat and took measured up. Very pleased with the quality and price quoted was reasonable. I found I had to chase them to meet deadlines for the season and the resulting just in time delivery tiresome. Having said that I would not...

We purchased a 37’ iron fastened Miller Fifer 4 years ago. Not regretted it despite 3 years restoration. When first purchased it was assumed to be Larch on oak, later turned out to be iroko on oak. Professional boat builder feedback on larch was good, it has immense longitudinal strength...
