Handy reason to have the Alderney ring and buoy on the rode already! Get up and go go go. R

Or hitch a ride with a trailered boat and go to Portland!!! [emoji6] R

Coming back by sea or land Terry? R

Including yourself in that group Terry? We'll get you a special visitors pass! R

God job Jim, I'm sure they'll dust them off for you at a reasonable rate!?! [emoji23] R

This is her: https://www.worthavenueyachts.com/01-31-2019/yacht-elandess/ $115m - good value! R

Go steady Steve!

Ian Jones picked up a Rodman from Bordeaux recently. Worth sending him a PM. R

Looks like a decent ploy to stop trawling, well done soap dodgers for once!

RIP Jim Rob

Agree with the comments, Dave was a very talented angler and was happy to share knowledge. RIP

i use the palomar knot, when the eye of the hook will allow doubled up line to pass through. Simple and easy to tie in rough seas. R

"South Dorset" better that North I guess! I like the idea of green peace dripping concrete blocks to disrupt trawling. BBC News - Bottom trawling ban for key UK fishing sites https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-55894608

Enjoy Martin!

Enjoy!

Turn your Ais off then and she will never know. As always , you need to pick the weather/seas conditions to suit yourself, skills and craft. I've been 20+ miles from mooring in heavy white topped seas, wind against tide in the dark on the wrong side of Start Point lighthouse. But with sensible approach and knowing it.would.take a lot of throttle control we came back ok. Just do what you (and for Ian, his wife) are happy with. R

Any room to have a unit or two hanging down? Move VHF up / out the way? Hopefully you'll not have time to sort as the weather will be so good you'll be out constantly. R

Yeah, at the club Xmas meeting, free snacks, it's a win! R

Brian is sporting a black eye!

Enjoy!

One man's correct angle could be different to another's Terry. When we fitted JV2, Ad and I mocked it up in scrap wood first. Everything from seating, galley cabinets and dash. Size, height and angle of dash were important to get right. Anyone who can do a bit of glassing/mould making could make a "box" cut at an angle, correct size and shape etc is the challenge. Shame you didn't buy her earlier, could have had 9momths to tinker at home and learn from YouTube! Good luck. R

Make from wood, see how it works for you, then that's your plug for moulding. Could iron out any issues should you find them once paid out for a final build. Chance to get the angles correct and easy to adjust. R

Slow down Greg, making the rest of us look bad! R
