When I read this, I scoured the yard for the 'convertible' bit of Helonaki which had been lying around for years. Sadly, looking at the history of Sirena, it is one and the same boat and probably would have gone with the sale. I had thought that it had been built for a trip across the North Sea...

I have only seen wakeboarders once and that was 8/9 years ago and it was my mate. I can only assume it is on the south side of the island, which sort of implies a resident family, the kids of whom have been brought up on the river and are generally very respectful of it. Just thinking that this...

I know pretty much every mooring on the island and can only think of one possibility on the rentals and one riparian owner. Could you give a description of the boat and the mooring please?

Scrap one is in Twickenham. Bit of a schlep unless you were coming down for a match.

Out of interest, what is the length of your Buckingham and what part of the country are you? I may be able to point you in the direction of a scrapped Buckingham 25.

Merry Christmas All From the tidal Thames

I have only ever done it a couple of times from my mates' 98' Dutch barge. There is a huge amount of commercial traffic because, obviously, the whole affair is just organised for them. Even though Mark had booked space along side a passenger boat that wasn't being used, he was bullied by another...

Was this not the sunken pontoon that Driftwood or similar removed a week or two ago?

I just bought a 2 burner Origo and it's brilliant. I was re-building the galley and while discussing the build of a new 2 bottle gas locker, someone asked what it was going to feed. "Only the hob!" He recommended the Origo and I saved a few hundred squids. Sadly this was after I had bought a 5...

Yes it is Ben. I did put up a post in the Classic Boat forum but when I tried to search for it, I was informed that I was banned for no specific reason, never to be lifted. I have absolutely no idea what that is about. The boat was re-named, I think by the current owner and the cuddy was...

Congratulations on buying Helonaki!!

On Thursday, I had an urgent requirement for 3 new batteries. I phoned CPC Batteries (http://www.cpcbatteryservices.co.uk/) at 9am, got great advice, great price and had them delivered 2 hours later. The very pleasant driver even carried them to my dinghy. Does anyone else have tales of great...

I get all my decorating stuff from http://www.decoratingdirect.co.uk/. Good prices and they normally deliver the next working day.

The housing development that will replace it when the project fails will not be worth nearly as much in Hounslow. As for the BBC's accuracy - "A public consultation was held on a proposal to give Gloriana a permanent home at Twickenham's former Orleans House boatyard on the river Thames." - I...

Lion Boathouse on the island will be on the market in the next few months. The asking price will be more than £1M though.

May I ask if these units mentioned would let me extend the range of my wi-fi so that I could offer my broadband to some friends and neighbours elsewhere in the yard? I know that they could install some Alfa kit but I would quite like to extend my range to the pub on the other side of the river...

Don't I recall a tale many years ago involving one of the new moderators in his pants with a member from East London?
