We could have a club comp! Biggest wins all!!! Not sure about the weigh in tho? Tomo

Hi Trev, Jets are definatley a No No in Xchurch Harbour as the shallow water spells disaster, the gravel knackers them in no time....I have a mate who found out to his extreme exspense Twin 300hp Yamaha's.......only draws 500 to 600 mm so the Xchurch run will no longer be a problem ..(.I may live to regret that statement ) But I am going for the Hysu foils as it makes about 10 to 15 % fuel saving Plus a further 8 to 10 Knots. Tomo

Paul, If it dosn't sell it would mean her in doors would have to let me keep it.....mmmmm New Boat is 10.6 metre SwiftCat Tomo

Alderney...Swinge..... Tomo

Well Lads, With reluctance its time for "JustPurfick" to go ....As her in doors says I cant keep both boats and the new one is due for completion April/May 2011..... So she up for grabs......The boat that is I think....

Hope the forcast dosen't slip, its forcasting 2.4 to 2.9 metre swell at 9am on Sunday. ...worst than last week.... Tomo

We were out codding....and to say it was a tad cold 4 miles off shore is probably an understatement....but well fishable....quite a few boats out on the car park. heard a 33 lb cod landed! Tomo

I'll second that..... Tomo

Hi Andy, I carry a spare set up only only the anchor is 7.5 kg anchor, where as normaly I use a 5kg for my Pirate 21 which is more than adequate. Tomo

Being so changeable.....Look on Saturday am......it will do your head in otherwise Tomo

Its going to be busy our side///!!!!!! What happened to Lymo Paul?? The 3 rules of fishing....Go where the fish are .....go where the fish are......stay where the fish are Tomo

Hi Lad's I have done a detaled analysis of the frequency of members posting on the forum, in relation to a comparable analysis of the prevailing weather, and the phase of the moon related to the proximity of birthdays, christmas or taking the wife shopping instead of going fishing!!!!! My summary is ...if the weather is sh...t, we would all rather be on the forum... than be associated with the alternatives. What say you! Tomo

Helen's Right....Your a tight fisted git Guess who

We are out from XChurch.....Only cos we cant tow to Lymo..... Tomo

Paul Sissy.. ...go from Xchurch .....a bit of wind and surf adds to the excitement, plus no channel bouys.... no sence of adventure . Tomo

Hi Chris, I got one from Force 4........beware..make sure your output from your cigar socket is rated high enough as it melted mine, the wiring, housing and the plug. The fuse did not blow, as it was, as recomended.. they are not rated for the continual power draw.. I then got a proper 12 volt power plug that could cope with the Amperage that they draw, for the period of time you have them on. Cigar lighters are only rated for short bursts ...as I found out.

It sounds like both cracks need patching up Tomo

PJ, I think he was refering to the number of (few) years ago...not that you are verticaly challenged Tomo

Lads, For what its worth I can tow my Pirate 21 with a 4x4, no trouble...... Build quality..... Very Good..not brilliant ... as the yard seems to change each boat that comes out of the mould to suit the last purchasers comments...... As for sea keeping qualities....ask the lads that were onboard going through the Swinge. with me.....In Alderney... The 18 is a great boat, as I have taken it out in Wales in very rough conditions. Tomo

Hi Terry, Sand samples have been taken from well inside of Xchurch Harbour...nearly at Xchurch Quay ......to be identified as the exact same sand that is being dredged out of Poole and pumped ashore at Southbourne!! The Dredging company must be ing getting paid to take it out of Poole...and getting paid again to dump it at Southbourne...a win win senario....Shame they can't get a contract to then take the same sand out of Xchurch Tomo

That means then after a couple of storms...it will get dumped in the Xchurch run / entrance..as it did last time.. as if we havn't got enough sand bars.. Tomo
