Yep! Trying to make reasonable headway at full displacement with a hull designed to plane.

Dave, If you posted some more details about your boat such as displacement or planing, length at waterline, displacement (wieght) etc. I'm sure help will reveal itself I'm not familiar with the Fjordling so not much help. However...... My experience of 2 stroke ends with my last one, a 60 hp on a half ton 17ft wilson Flyer. At full chat 5000 + rpm and plaining at 23 knots she used appx 1 litre per mile. In a chop at displacement speed, you could easily double the fuel consumption. I used to ALWAYS carry 50 litres and resricted operations between Anvil Point to Southborne Rough after leaving Baiter in Poole. From mudeford, I ranged from North Head to the east, The Needles to the south and past Southborne to Bournemouth to the West. Mostly I had plenty to spare but opperated by going out and fishing on tank 'A' and returned on tank 'B'. I'd refuel both and go out on 'B' for the next trip keeping the rotation going. This in the main meant for me an adiquate rotation of fresh fuel and always a full tank to run home on, no matter what the conditions. Bit long winded but I hope this helps.

Nice chat. A steady hand with the drill then................ Cheers

Ben, I'll try to dig out the stuff on my system as it has worked very well and is very similar to what you are proposing. Trev

You have a PM Trev

I can't make the boat jumble tomorrow so asking has anyone got a buoy that would lift a 10kg anchor I have a 30cm x 40 cm but it is too small. Piplers want

Hi Ben, Where will you launch? I am moored in Xchurch and will be off for some breaming in a couple of weeks. Keep in touch. T

In it to win it as they say. A couple of years past I didn't enter as I really didn't think I would get out at all and was, at any rate far too late for any booking in melarchy. As it happens I fished 3 hours on a whim an bagged a fish that would have given second . you just never know do ya !

Nice to hear someone having a bit of sport! It's almost dead here for a couple of weeks.

Ouch!

I'll give ya 10 to 1 he does John HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN !

Well your bass for sure!

Mmmm Haven't heard of the trawling bit before Dave. Where does that come from? They're normally caught by hand nets or kypes along the estuaries. In 2006 prices were up to

After a bit more research & thought the usb stick is by far the berst option as I know these work. My computerised house brick has only got the older USB1 so not really worth going to an optical drive. Sent it back for a refund.

Oh ballcocks............... cheers Martin, I'd forgotten the seasonal bit........shame isn't it? Tah! Wedge

I managed to get a swap to an external usb usb dvd rw so hope this will do Will report back Wedge AKA techno dipshc

That is the place the plaice would be, and why they have placed their plaice nets in that place. Seriously though are they outside of the bass nursery area? They would need to be east of the line drawn from Jerry's point through Brownsea Castle toward Sunset Hill Salterns area.

the sony SATA drive is available to me so could I just use a SATA to USB adaptor like I don't mind slow, as it is just for loading programs that come on laser disc. I just need it to work!............. ???

I have a Panasonic toughbook CF-27 which only has a floppy drive. OS is windows XP. 128 RAM but adding a further 128. Can I connect and run an external optical drive such as Sony 24x Int DVDRWRAM SATA Black L/S (Misco sell them)

http://endoftheline.com/ Whilst were circulating the club copy it was shown for the first time on C4. I have still got the disc so I'll bring it on Thursday. Wedge

Boat Launching Procedures So here it is. I just bought a new boat and decided to take 'er for the maiden voyage this past weekend. This is my first boat and I wasn't quite sure of the exact Standard Operating Procedures for launching it off a ramp, but I figured it couldn't be too hard. I consulted my local boat dealer for advice, but they just said
