BLUEMOMENT

Another option might be an RTL-SDR (software-defined radio) USB dongle, as they cover the frequency range 500 kHz up to 1.75 GHz. https://www.rtl-sdr.com/about-rtl-sdr/ I use one for receiving AIS on the boat and another for the tyre pressure monitoring sensors on the motorhome. Not tried weatherfax...

I keep hoping to catch a glimpse of oor Webbie, but not seen much activity yet.
Perhaps if we were to arrange a time he'd pop his head out of Fairwinds and give a wave..

Patterson of Aberargie's small crane (50T I think) is the one normally used for individual lifts at Tayport: https://www.brianpatterson.co.uk/ The 100T crane does the season start/end lifts but they'll bring the small one over for single boat lifts so would certainly do 2 of. @Gardenshed - Fulmar bi...

I had the same experience having taken over a new-to-me boat with 2x seized Blakes cockpit drain seacocks. I tried for a long time with a wooden dowel (length of broom handle) and a lump hammer, hitting harder than I was happy with, but no progress at all. Someone passing by said that it had to be a...

I too have been missing it, despite its annoying panning feature which means that you have to wait about 3 minutes while watching cars splashing through puddles in the car park, or windswept tourists wandering forlornly around the pier, to get an all-too-brief view of the pontoons. It does seem to h...

I can state that in a slow MoHo it’s a ferkin long way to the top of Sweden. In a saily boatie it would be interminable. Aye we opted for the moho too - knew I'd never get there in a boat. Too much of a fair weather sailor for a start. This was in 2019 then Covid got in the way of a return visit bu...

I'm afloat for the winter in a marina without power (although in extremis I could run several extension leads to a 6A shore supply) so I decided to go for a portable lithium solution. I bought a 30Ah Lifepo4 battery which weighs 3Kg and equipped it and the boat with quick release Anderson (50A rated...

I'm immune to the weather this winter - boat under cover in heated indoor storage. Not from choice, it just happens to be where the boat was when I bought it a couple of months ago. It's a very different experience to the Argyll boatyard winters of the past 30 years of boat ownership. Thursday was a...

Thanks for this, I didn't realise that they were available. Ours arrived next day.

Neither the linkspan nor Glenarm it seems:

There was some chat about it on one of the FB groups where the owner suggested that she'd touched aft on a low tide and taken on water through dry planks at the bow and overcome the pump(s). Was in commission I think. Reportedly he was blocked from attending as it wasn't deemed an essential journey,...

Perhaps this one which went down on April 5th, although that seems too long ago.

I had a similar arrangement with shaft brushes outboard of the Aquadrive and linked to the same hull anode as in your picture. It seemed to work well enough and I didn't see any deterioration of the prop over the 16 years that I had the boat. The brushes were very prone to squealing though, hence th...

Sold. Thanks.
