Thus hish a grey-free zone and if ah may say so, yer lairdship, the wee place ye hud at Dumbarton, youse put it oan Airbnb. Whit wid you have me do? And putting yer boat oan as a floating home with 6 beds all ensweet...

are these fittings primarily for decorative architectural applications? I can't see how a compression fitting like this will have a break point proportionate to the wire diameter and they don't give any figures. The Stalok fittings are belt and braces in comparison with the cone compressing the...

When the twister was moored on the upper Hamble where the pontoons were very short (2 boat lengths?), they would, I imagine, have moved in sync with the boat?

Would this be the visitors pontoon, about 150 mtrs long? The construction is interesting because it isn't piled so must be anchored to the sea bed. With a 7 mtr max tidal range (Brest) that's really quite an achievement.

What interests me is the long non-articulated pontoons. The joint between each section of 10 or so mtrs is typically 3 flanges. Movement across such structures can be easily induced by simply rocking them; indeed a wave motion can be transmitted down the long axis if you're energetic enough -...

I mean long 100m midstream pontoons. I ask this to better understand the movement of the pontoon relative to the boat attached to it. A short, vicious, chop will create a wave pattern which if the direction of travel is with the lengthways direction of the pontoon, can lift the pontoon off the...

I've had a Clarke 1000 watt 4 stroke generator for 4 years and I did quite a big job requiring power for 6 weeks and it performed without fault. Like you I tried a Lidl multi tool and it shook me to bits; bought a Fein multi tool at vast expense but it was worth it. The generator powered the...

I've one more than I need. £17 brand new. It's CF-4 spec

I have 17.5 mtrs unused - left over from a 100mtr drum of KOS wire. The drum cost just over £6 per metre. Will accept £25 excl postage.

Grey & light grey pads still available ...

I have one pack of each, 2 pads per pack. They were used to decide which colour we'd eventually buy. A fiver each + postage? They are diamond pattern. I also have some large off cuts of fawn DP if anyone is interested.

Looks very good but it's not for us.

What happened next?!

Considering replacing fawn coloured Treadmaster with light grey. I'm thinking that this would be like laying white/cream coloured carpets and spending the rest of your life telling the children to take their shoes off before entering the house? Would anyone who has light grey Treadmaster care...

"No chance", "No need" laughable!

I've always found an original valid vat invoice essential

These seemingly innocent questions can hide a truly horrific secret like no vat being paid on a fiddled purchase. Just get the rya bill of sale, get a broker's estimate of value and remember that in the UK you could be charged for sole use of the boat after sale to your son.

where the pro furl enters the drum it is retained by grub screws. They couldn't have come loose?

Ignore the eejits. Mine has yet to be used for what it was designed for but has brûlée mon creme, seared mon steak and much more.

Have you heard of a rig tension "meter" called SureCheck? Claims to be 10% accurate. It costs a fraction of the Loos device, approx £70 for 8mm wire.
