Knowing our webmaster he'll probably post live action via his laptop somehow PJ Not if I have anything to do with it.........He'll be to tired from carrying fuel..heh haw!!! Tomo

Hi, I'm down for 300 ltr of Petrol.......My Fuel donkey (PaulD alias POPEYE.... to his nephew!!!!!) has got it coverd.......I hope......But don't tell himI told you....... Tomo

Try The Christchurch Boat Shop 01202-482751 They have deveoped one of their own , I was helping them with the design last year..... and they are very reasonably price ,under

It's probably in a container and across the pond within 3 hrs ! I know from bitter experience some 10 years ago! Tomo

Opps that was painfull. Is that the pile of shingle at the end of the run which was there last year or is this a new bank arrived over winter? Tomo

Just Perfick.......Tomo, Paul D (Fuel Donkey) , Tubby......Leaving XChurch 05.00...Clear THE RUN...and look to Buddy up. 4 Day trip planned Tomo

Is that for the fuel donkey or the cans? Tomo

Looks like I will have to hire a wheel barrow on Alderney.........That's for the cans....not the fuel donkey!!!!

I'm down for petrol only.........so unless they get a pump on the wharf we're off to the petrol station....Paul D being the fuel donkey.. with 4 cans straped to his back..... Tomo

I'll be leaving with a 40 Gallon tank + 20 Gallon reserve.........4 Gals an hour @ 3000RPM = 20knts, hopefully equals a 40 gallon refill on Alderney for 3 days......... Tomo

After following this thread can't resist the temptation of taking Just Purfick...so count me in.....already have crew......but may be able to take 1 more.....had my PB bass there last year Tomo

Well Lads, The whiting are here!.......so hopefully the cod are not far behind!!!!! Fish up to 2lb of the beach at Soutrhbourne on Monday night.......So bring on the Cod. Tomo

Rob, Paul D didn't winge to long as after our mackey bashing we went to drift the Ledge and PD was into bass on the first drift.....but that was probably because he was borrowing one of my rods.... and the day just got bettter with a steady flow of bass to live baits and lures. We had fish topping all round the boat.......and just to mention PD lost a good fish.... We then went of to a mark of the Island to try for some rays but had to contend with tope....But great fun anyway. Tomo

Hi Steve, Welcome to the forum and as the other lads have said it is well worth joining the club as the help and knowledge is always there and someone is always ready to help if you'r in a fix. Anyway it would be good for another Pirate 21 owner in the club .......What engine set up have you got ? Tomo

Hi Lads, I am after any advice on your experiences with Split Charge Diodes for charging a twin battery instalation. I am currently installing a new pair of 85 ah batteries which are controlled via a heavy duty battery changeover switch, but I am considering installing a split charging diode to ensure even charging of the batteries but have not any experience of the suitability of these so would appreciate any help or opinions. Regards Tomo

And there were refreshments on hand........What will the weekend be.....guess no drifting for plaice!!!!!!

Hi Lads, There's rumour of a new cod mark of Bournemouth Pier...

Hi Lads, I have been following this thread with intrest and would like to enquire what make /type of antifouling would you recommend for my Pirate 21 which is a 40 knt + craft, although 30 knts is about the limit I push it.......Last years International product applied, wore off in record time. I keep the boat at Tuckton which is very low in salinity and I have been told that normal saltwater antifoul coatings do no work in these type of conditions and infact can have problems with adhesion. It appears every anifouling' specialist' has a diffrent opinion! Tomo

Hi Lads, Anybody got an idea of the tides at the Ripps Sunday as I would be up for it but can't get out of the XC Run untill about 9.45 am or........6 am after BBQ....dont think so!!!!!!!!!! The Joys of Christchurch Harbour!!! Tomo

Hi Newboy , I would like to purchase them from you.....Just the ticket for my fishing from my punt on the river...My autos keep inflating when we sit out in the pouring rain and you get soaked ....no where to hide on a punt!!!! PM me and I will arrange to collect. Tomo

Hi terry, Here is a link to a local company who is A1 for service and delivery is first class. I have purchased lots of kit from these guys, if you have a problem they are really helpfull. http://www.jgtech.com/aerial.htm Tomo

Adam, The valves are by Forespar. Really great products http://www.forespar.com/onlineCatalog/2008...Barbs2008.shtml Tomo

HI Adam, I used the same setup as Rob except I used the new type of skin fitting with an isolating valve and the pump scews into the valve.The whole unit is a composite material and so you have no problem with the possability of electrolysis you can experience with the conventional brass skin fitting and ball valve. I got mine from Christchurch Boat Shop. Tomo

Hi Lads, Any local suppliers of good quality deep cycle batteries... at a good price.I need a couple of 100 Ah batteries. Tomo
