Crikey Mike, now you have scared him!!!!!! Seriously good advice / good for thought though! All sorts of info on sheer strength of 316 online. Found this but it doesn't advise if 316 or 304 etc: http://www.bssa.org.uk/topics.php?article=127

Enjoy mate!

Can you advise on the make/ model of each?

I am on the case and will advise!

Get a cheap landing net pole, the aluminium ones are sturdy but a carbon one will be lighter (but knock it and it could snap at any moment!).

Or was a girl!

Mouthful of cake or biscuits Jim? Well done HOW!

Loads of guys here at Cobbs, how about dry stack there? How about dry storage at Rockley?- prob cheapest about and they are a few members there too! (But further from the entrance of the harbour which is a nice cruise and plenty of time to scrub the decks!

If it is in HD mode, you need a beast of a laptop to process and run that video. My 2 yr old work laptop (nothing special graphic card wise) can't pal smooth HD video. Set everything to capture on low res, low gps etc and see if that works. Rob

My icom has been on JoJo for 9 yrs, and practically outdoors. All present and correct! Icom do a second handset that can operate all functions from say, on deck. Not a bad thing, Make a dsc call without having to go back down below!

Advice: take a force4 catalogue with you, some new things there are not or only slightly cheaper, and your chance of being able to return if faulty at the Jumble / to that seller is a pain in the rear!!!! Beware! But for used stuff and crap it is great!!! Best thing I got was a spare trailer wheel for a friends run to tip trailer and Charlie A found a matching seat for his Shetland, what are the chances!!

Change insurance company!!!!

Have a good'un kaptin ook!

Enjoy mate!

Not sure I would stray out the harbour, stay safe and learn your and your boat's limits in a safe environment! Poole harbour can get very sloppy / choppy so be ware!! Rob

Enjoy mate!

Enjoy Matthew!

Not sure "pay peanuts get tossers" is a saying, maybe that is a new one!

Welcome! Photos please (of boat, it ain't that sort of club!). Rob

Why couldn't they close both a people just drive around the holes bay? Who would go to Ham worthy by choice anyway!!!!????!!!???

Stop it! I thought about watching it yesterday but didn't!!!

^now you are boasting! No wonder you have a limp!

Yep, check earths for corrosion, how about the battery terminals - are they nice clean and greased?

Careful if you turn up and he has that pink pinny on!

Bloody right Nige, need to take advantage of every chance!
