I remember it well, a fabulous trip.

Hi Hurricane I certainly don't mind you posting the photos and would certainly recommend Coast2Coast Transport. They did a very good job of transporting my boat and kept me informed of progress all the way.

Looks really good Mike. Another string to your bow.:cool::)

Hi, I didn't need to replace it. Had the motor stripped down, rewound and baked. Fitted new brushes and the guy that carried out the work also replaced the Contacts in the 'reversing contactor'. All refitted and working well to this day.

Nut behind the wheel then Jezz :rolleyes:

Great Virtual Tour Mike, has given me very itchy feet. Can't wait to get back.

Many Congratulations Dustywings, What a beautiful boat. I love a happy ending.:encouragement::encouragement: I also very recently used Coast2Coast and cannot speak more highly of them. They transported my Squadron 56 down to Sant Carles from Swanwick. Russell and his team are the very best and...

I had the window material replaced after 9 years, it was done with 2 rows of straight stitch which seem to be a very fine pitch. No welding, and was/is very successful. Don't think I had a UV problem, they were just dull and scratched. Of course I did NOT do this, a very useful guy in Sarisbury...

Always interested in 'these little' projects. If that machine found its way to SCM I've got loads of little projects :encouragement::encouragement::D:D

Hi Guys. I have a Whittall Passerelle which I have recently re-fitted to the boat ( 1994 Fairline Squadron 56) having taken her to the Med (Sant Carles). Would anybody have any info, manuals, wiring diagram ect which they could scan/copy and send me. I am interested in fitting a remote control...

Jez, these http://www.splicingallied.com/ guys may be able to help. They have made me many lifting devices over the years. will be worth a visit to explain requirement but they are only in Staines.

Great Video Mike, as always. Interesting to hear about the Flexiteak.

Hi M I have used this method with Rope & Chain as well as all chain. When hauling all chain you need a large ball fender. I used to make the Alderney ring (split type) at about 200/250mm Dia and had very few problems. Useful YouTube page here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7v8uiDWFnE

Peter Have a look at the Alderney Ring Method. Google/YouTube is your friend. I have used this successfully many times whilst fishing and depending on circumstances it works well. I found that a large ball fender works best. suggest you practice in the lagoon.

I totally agree Mike. Planning and a plan B, then get on with it. As you know I have single handed Ocean Tigress many times and should the need arise I'm not to proud to radio the marina and ask for assistance with taking the ropes. I really enjoy single handing.

Visiting Sant Carles and noticed this new option of additional open seating. i wonder what the panel think ?? Any Ferretti owners care to comment. :D

Hi Magnum. When I bought Ocean Tigress home from Villamoura we put into Gijon which had plenty of room and was a large commercial Marina (April 2006) with all facilities and an airport close by. We then crossed directly to La Rochelle which I'm sure you know is a huge marina again with all...

RIP Haydn, you will be very missed.
