Water in the fuel?

Welcome to the club Elliot, you will find the club has a wealth of knowledge, use the site for advice when setting up your boat, the members will be pleased to help. I am the club safety officer and we like to think our members go to sea with the basic requirements like a Vhf license and some power boat training if required, you can also have you boat checked out and advice given on safety equipment you should carry on board. Ask away and we will help, we can book you on the courses mentioned at discounted rates from local trainers. Enjoy your new boat a good choice. Mal Thomas

Belated happy birthday Charlie, there is a space with your name on it on Sweet Pea when you have time.

Happy birthday Trev and have a good lunch.

Awesome day well worth two reports.

Welcome to the club,this is a great club. I am the safety officer and its always good to find out your skill levels on a boat ,your skills may be needed in an emergency even though you are going to crew most of the time, you might like to think about a competent crew days training if you feel it might be necessary. The situation may arise when you may need to man the helm and pilot the boat, call for help ect, we have all done this training or similar and always found it valuable. If you think you might like to do this send me a personal message and we will help you. Mal Enjoy your boating and keep safe.

Welcome Steve your in good company in this club, if you require any Safety advice, Vhf radio License or Training please get in touch with me and we will organise help. If you could give us an idea of your seamanship skills we will help where ever we can. Enjoy your boating and be safe rather than sorry. Mal Thomas Safety Officer.

As one of the busiest waterways in the World and with open sea just minutes away I was wondering if members thought this speed is justifiable in this area. BTW as an ex motorcyclist I love a bit of speed as the Dorset constabulary have just reminded me with a penalty notice

Tragic accident for the young crew member who is still in hospital with head injuries, can someone please explain to me why the pilot felt it necessary to test a prototype so close to a cardinal mark with a mixed crew in the Solent at 80mph.

What did the spotty weigh Lofty.

The radio is you friend when your on a long trip, it gives you that peace of mind that help is not far away should something go Pete Tong, wise decision Hooky. I will rest peacefully in the knowledge your safe when your out on that big bad sea far far away. Your new safety officer. Mal

Pleased about your good news, go and enjoy the summer, tight lines.

Hi Terry have a nice day out, make a track when you go out as we are experiencing some thick sea haars.

Happy birthday Jim, will you stop buying raffle tickets and give the rest of us a chance. Have a pint for me.

Happy birthday Adam and well done on the boat, good skills.

Its a stand alone unit which is one of the down sides, its a backup unit for me and no complaints to date.

HI Cam We are building Surveyors,the Building society or Bank building surveyor may pick it up but its not a deal breaker. There are many things to take in to consideration. U values or heat loss is are a consideration. 1. Is it Damp? 2. It will be cold and therefore black mould might be an issue. 3. Under the tile hanging is there a waterproof membrane. 4. Can you dryline with insulated plasterboard on the inside or is it already in place. 5. Are the window reveals and cills going to be sufficiently weather to keep out the damp. 6. If they have used this construction as a cost saver, what is the flat roof like, insulated or not? 7. Your loan size to value of the property will also have a baring. Give us a call if you have questions. You should have a survey of your own to be satisfied. 8. How old is the Extension. 9. Are there drawings available, was permission sought, was building control involved. Mal Thomas Castlemore Surveyors 01202486666
