Re: Launching trolley

Are you still needing one Nick? I might have one in my pile of trailer bits (but cannot remember if it has already been given away). If so, I will have a look on my return home in 3-4 weeks.

Re: Merry Christmas everyone!

Re: West Highland Sailing - New Website

On the introduction page, where it reads "Starting your cruise at the base at Laggan Locks" surely it should be "Starting your cruise at OUR base at Laggan Locks"

Re: Electric Outboards - any experience?

Thank you Dave, some useful information there. For what it is worth, I did spend a night in Peterhead when travelling by Contessa 26 from Inverness to Dundee. This was the days before the marina.
