Try these Steve.

Apple I think Steve. I'll convert for you

I posted this drawing back in 2017. Just add dimensions and you'll have a working drawing. Jim Bow Roller.pdf

Good advice Mal.

It's always a compromise & trade off. Enjoy your quest.

Beneteau Barracuda. 7, 8, or 9 if you're feeling wealthy. Jeanneau Merry Fisher Marlin looks very similar but I would step on the barracuda and equivalent Jeanneau. The Beneteau doesn't tip but the Jeanneau does (in my experience) If I had some dosh that's what I'd go for but of course it's all down to your choices. Even the Barracuda. 7 can have a live well.

My Brother has bought something now but still needs the engine. I just thought that would be ideal for him. I was offered something else from a club member today but my Brother had already parted with some coin of the realm !

Lovely

My Brother wanted it too but I missed it. He was after something to " pootle around " near Lake Pier etc. with the kids.

Pure Magic !

Good Lad ! Of course you won't be going fishing anymore. You'll be spending " quality time " with your Son.

Nice one Neil. He'll be telling stories to his own kids in years to come about glorious days afloat with Dad ! Absolutely priceless !

Of course Terry. Myleene Klass, Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw,

Nothing wrong with a level bottom Pete!

Needs new Rings & valves looking at the smoke !

The guys on the breakwater were driving via remote control. That's a strange looking gizmo. Be easy to skin it up to look like a sea monster ! Imagine relaxing on a beach and that thing comes out of the sea.

Yum Yum Indeed !

Went over to Soutbourne again yesterday. Thought about the ledge for some Bass but I've forgotten everything Alun taught Me. Stayed at Southbourne looking for Plaice & Mackerel. Sea a little less than flat so kept the speed down to 18 - 20 ish Mackerel straight away ( just the one ) then nothing for a while then had Mackerel in little spurts throughout the day. Wen the water went slack Ihad a couple of Doggies followed by a small Starry Smooth hound ( about 10 - 12 inches ) ish. As the tide picked up I had 2 little plaice which went back. Followed by 3 reasonable Plaice. Followed by this one which I weighed at 1lb 12oz A very good day to be out. It looks breezier for the rest of the week so don's suppose I'll be out again. Besides I'm staying out of the Sun for a couple days ! Spoke to a couple who have just bought a Pilot4 same as mine. . . . . . May get a new club member. . . . . . . . I'll see if I can find the CAD files for my Rod Tubes he was quite impressed with them.

A wealth of knowledge in our club. Well done all for the input.

That's the one !

There's a Raider 18 in the club with the same name I believe. I used to work for him but we called him Fat Wallet

Had a go in the entrance and spotted this pair. Another gadget that will probably make someone a fortune. No good for old codgers though! We'd be IN the water not ON it. Walking on Water 2.mp4

I like this bit: " You might be tempted to believe that an AC3200 router provides a wireless network that works at 3200 Mbps. That would be amazing, but, unfortunately, it is false. The truth is that this naming convention is not useful for making a purchasing decision. It is just a marketing tactic that tries to make you believe that a router is faster than it really is. " Cheeky devils !

Sounds great.

Got out at about 09:30 and headed for Southbourne. Water quite flat so could go quite quickly. Found a few waves so dropped back to 22 MPH. Stopped and drifted near cafe area but nothing but a couple of Mackerel. Lofty called for any Poole bay boats. He said they were doing OK further up so went over to join him & Dave. They were anchored so I moved away as I wanted to drift. The wind was changing direction from ESE to S which made it hard to plan the drifts to avoid bouys and kayaks but just kept my eye on it as well as the three rods. Plenty of fog around the cruise ships which were moored up due to corona virus but we didn't get much of it. I was catching a steady stream of Mackerel so that was good. Had a very big take on one of the other rods but missed that one. Mick tried to radio me but I didn't hear him. I'll try to remember to put my radio up on the rod tubes whilst fishing so I get better range. Great day to be afloat. Tiddler_June_2020_Low_Res.mp4
