Nice! Now, please don't call the new white one "blue magic"!

Just be aware, the harbour can be a dangerous place. Big waves, tidal races and worst of all plonkers in other craft!

"But have met a couple of members"

Ensure you go out on one, they are BiG! I think many are surprised how big compared to other 15 / 16 ft boats. Good luck with your search! Rob

Nice! How do you weigh it!!! Any be good for the anglers back, all that load when sat and especially off centre and twisted.

Ah ha! Quotation marks seem to resolve it!

Thoughts Steve?

I think opening it up to "friends" of pbsbac wouldn't be a bad thing (or the "friends" could have their own pool of prizes). Adam, did you forget to buy family membership by any chance!?!?!?

I will get them in the post tomorrow!

Ok, I didn't have time to get it from neighbour tonight (he was not home by the time I left for club meeting). I will let you know when I have it. Rob

Are you going tonight?

I think PJ means by making Jim speechless!

Ah yes, she was pimped already!

Great news Nige! Swift progress too. Are you having any extras added in the cable runs for future mods / additions? Alderney awaits?

Stuie - you're not invited!

Enjoy young man!

All, My neighbour had an unused blue barrel, guessing 120 litres that has never been used. Clamp on lid too (you know the sort that most of us use as a live bait well. It is slightly flattened on two opposite sides which makes it slightly narrower and I assume for more compact storage. I am looking for £20 to go to charity. Let me know if you're interested or make an offer if you are a tight git! Thanks, Rob

Im sure Mike, but it gives an idea of the strength of the bolt sizes in a controlled situation, I would expect snatch loading capacity is a minefield to try and measure etc ect. Chances are the poorly Maintained mooring buoy will break away from its anchor. Didn't that happen to a club boat last year?

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!).
