Re: Cleaning a stain from Vinyl

I'd try acetone and if that damages the vinyl, there are many on line suppliers of self adhesive vinyl patches. Some quite large. Trick will be colour match. Test the acetone on cushion back first

Re: Davits or Hydrovane

You give no details of your boat, nor your area. Davits are ridiculous on a 26 footer, but almost mandatory on a 50 footer

Re: Bird deterrent

I have tried all of the above, plus a fake eagle suspend from from the masthead. Absolutely nothing works. We even see gulls perched on the fake owls.
The only thing that works is netting. Pita...

Re: excellent wind rose site

Another vote for Windy. Excellent. There used to be hard copy book of wind roses by month compiled from a US navy officer, I think in late 1800s. Just Pacific maybe.

Re: Yacht Delivery Death Traps.

That's an awful lot of boat for an inexperience and incompetent owner to manage. Just thinking about putting in a reef, short handed, has me running away. Will look out for it at the marina. ...

Re: Where do you buy Stugeron?

Can't get it in Oz. Not because it's dangerous but because our small population and over the top Drug compliance etc make it un economic. I get it in Singapore. Any chemist.

Re: Docking cleats installation on concrete seawall, wedge anchors or epoxy or both?

Chemset anchoring compound is great stuff. Used in mining to hold big machinery. Wouldn't get out of bed for the weight of your boat and associated stresses

Re: Whitsunday Islands don’t seem all that great

Hope you have scuba. Anchored in the lee of the islands the wind dies at night and the tide often wraps your chain around the bommies. I also found it a bit under whelming and this was 30 years ago...
