Maverick Martin

1 week 2 days and counting Martin

Hi Newboy I agree with what Adam has stated above. Much smaller than 10hp and you wont move to far especially against a tide. A 30hp engine will probably give you around 14/15 knots, maybe less when loaded up. The boat should be able to take up to 50/60hp With regards to the boat it is definatley a shetlandsuntrip Martin

Adam It doesnt matter where their going to spend most of the time, what matters is that they will be in gwo if they are required. The pics dont look to bad to me, very similar in design to others on the market at an excellent price. I would probably rather see one in the flesh before I purchased one. Martin

Hi Adam We already had a thread for the Shambles trip but as you would like to re-start and so as it doesnt get to confusing with peeps posting in both sections I have closed the other thread. Put Maverick down for definate I have Bob Horne for crew and pos one other not confirmed. Martin

Hi Paul I'll have 5 tickets pay you Thursday (you might have to remind me though) If you think this is a worthy cause you could put them forward by way of a proposal as a possible recipient of a share from our November open? Martin

Tony at Select Marine is a mariner agent he to provided a prize in the club open boat competition Martin

Hi all Yep the fishing was us but the company was good. I wouldnt say you motly lot made up for no fish but you went part way there Any how at least the Hayling link can at last die (dont post there anymore I have closed it) and I for one am looking forward to our shambles trip on sat 10th April, bring it on Oh and cheers Peter for cheering us all up, I did actually mention to the cabin boy about Shambles but it was decided to keep Loyal Royal company on her Maiden voyage. All in all a pleasant day Martin Ps did you fish today Peter

Well done Adam I'm sure the wait was worth it Look forward to seeing Blue Warrior on the 10th April from weymouth Martin

Paul cya Sunday morning at the slip we'll give you loadsa marks to try, with no guarantees of course Martin

All We have a consensus (if thats how you spell it) don't you just love it when a plan comes together. Also I'll be glad when this thread ends Martin

Hi Bob Yep no probs except I will get to the slip around 9.00 BST to prepare and launch at about 9.30. We can all keep in touch on the usual vhf channel and meet up at some point during the day. For my part I will probably try the swash or piers and beyond Is that ok for you Rich Martin

Hi Adam Fingers crossed that your proposed engine comes out with a clean bill of health . Hopefully by the end of this week-end you'll be the proud owner of a new rig When you get your engine serviced at Holes Bay please let Richard know your a member of pbsbac. It won't get you a discount but might make things easier when the club goes cap in hand for sponsorship Cheers Martin

Paul You are the man, 7.30 bst is fine by me Martin

Adam Sundays good and Dean can make it I can at a push (me usually being greedy for space) take one other crew member. Rich has posted me that he is available and that is ok so long as Bob hasnt already booked anyone else on the crew list. Cheers Martin

Adam You should keep a look out on the clubs calendar http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/forum/index.php?ac...vent&eventid=24 Definately Sunday Martin

Hi Mark Yes PLease i would like a lift Cheers Martin

Hi all Dean can't make saturday so I definately have room for at least one crew member Please post here if interested or phone me, my numbers are on your list. First come first served. Martin

Adam I have already been asked by a couple for a trip so will give them the first option, if they decline then yep room for one Martin

Paul Done Martin

Well that works ok Sneeky way to get traffic to the third love in your life Martin

Adam Maverick has the following Icom 401 euro vhf Furono gp36 dgps Plotter Lowrance M3000 mono plotter with south coast/channel large cartridge Lowrance X90 sounder Midland CB radio Pleased with all the kit but when funds stretch to it I would rather have a colour plotter. They give you better definition and are easier to read especially in bright sunshine While on the subject of electronics, just 3 or 4 years ago all pbsbac member boats used cb for inter club chat. I still feel this would still be a good idea. For one it stops the vhf air waves being clogged with chit chat and two not a lot of other boats have cb radio so a little more private for talking fish. Obviously I am not suggesting that cb is instead of vhf but a supplement for social chat only. What do you think? Martin

Adam I would go along with Dave's suggestion. If you do re-antifoul you will find that the new coating will soon discolour and look faded. If the existing antifoul is sound I would leave it as it is. If its not sound you could apply a barrier primer then a coat of hard antifoul which will stand up to the rigours of launch and retreive Martin

Dave Take a look at our home page, bottom left there is a link to boat launch. This site has information on loadsa launching sites Wakey wakey Martin

It also works our cheaper if you subscribe Martin

Hi Spoke to Dean and he is up for it, that is if he can get up at 4am, never been known before unless carp fishing of course. Martin
