Re: Why buy a boat when you can buy a seafort

It went for £490k..... A bit above the guide price!

Re: Lightening strike

I'd have it hauled and surveyed by someone who understands lightning - insurance should meet the cost - any or all of the electrics and instrumentation could be damaged.

Good luck

Re: Avoiding fog off the Portuguese coast in July

I like to go into Bayona as a first stop when crossing Biscay. A little bit further but it gets you south of Cape Finnistaire and the Rias are good sailing.

I had fog on only one occasion coming...

Re: RYA Course to skipper your own boat charters?

Probably YM offshore, commercial endorsement. Boat will need to be in code for commercial use, you'll need various insurances..... It's quite a long list!

Re: Insuring a 40 year old yacht

Edward William and Northern Reef are probably the most notorious "insurance co" in the sailing world. Probably unauthorised still, they are cheap for a reason.

Re: Fuel Consumption 75hp engine..

If you're motor sailing, 15-1800rpm will be fine and will give you a lift of about 1.5kts in boat speed while consuming about 0.4gph + my experience delivering these in the Med.

Re: England Headed to EV to Grid as well as Grid to EV

Gas in England is not gasoline. US gas is called petrol over here - nearly $2 a litre or $8 a gallon

Gas in UK means imported LNG or 'mined' from gas fields, mainly imported now as our North Sea...

Re: country flags do you need them?

The courtesy flag should be flown higher than any other flag on the vessel, typically immediately below the spreaders.

Re: Do customs officials routinely board/search yachts?

Being stopped at sea is virtually unknown - the stops that are made are usually "intelligence led" and result in drugs being found!

Re: Novel Propeller propulsion, going faster downwind than the wind

Mind-blowing - as I understand it, it opens up the possibility sailing dead up wind, but don't ask me for a technical explanation!

Re: B&G Zeus 2+DST 200 doesn't show STW but SOG, how can I fix this

Fouled paddle wheel? Have you pulled it to make sure it's running completely free


I don't know these units.... Is this a recent problem - did it used to work ok?

SOG will come from GPS not DST 200, so if no depth or temperature either, DST isn't putting anything out.

Re: What price for quick deal?

I suspect that you will get less than you may have invested. There are a number for sale between €35k - €40k.

If you want a quick sale then you will have to price it aggressively.

Good luck,...

Re: Autopilot steering off course

Raymarine APs will generally try to put you on the track line rather than the course to destination. If you have crosstrack error it will do a hard course alteration to get you 'back on track'.

Re: Barcelona to the Solent

Go with the flow coming through the straits, preferably with a following wind. Keep to the north side.

It can be bouncy with wind against tide.

Are you planning to do the trip slowly or fast? ...
