http://www.tacklebargains.co.uk/acatalog/M...ine_Braids.html 4th braid down - only the 25lb in Ghost green - the others arnt quite so good. Adam

On the contary - I have always used cheap braid (cos im tight!) and have been pretty happy with it. This year I have bought Whiplash for all my rods and to be honest I prefer the cheapish braid from the tackle bargins link. Adam

yep - just give me the time. I wish I could have doen this with BW!!

Yep, Martin is correct, Loyal Royal is a 640. Have a look under 'Members Boats' on the top navigation bar - he has just been added. Adam

dift fish about 300 yards off hengistbury groyne. cut up about 10 mackerel into tiny finger nail sized chunks and chum regulary with these. A 5 weight rod makes good fun of this on a calm day. You will catch mackeral, pollock, scad, bass and garfish using this method

As Newboy suggests...good idea. I dont expect you will see much change from

Happy Birthday - Little Boy Billy!!! 8 today! Have a cracking birthday. Adam

Look here: http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/forum/index.php?sh...55&hl=stainless The contact in Duncan's post would seem to be a good bet. Adam

Thank you Duncan - we got there in the end!! I agree Ofcom's site was useless!!! I gather from all the simple text that it was meant to be user friendly...yeah right!...after 1/2 hour of searching I resorted to my VHF handbook given to me when I did the test - here it advised www.radiolicencecentre.co.uk not such problems here...10 mins and it was payed for and filled in. 10 - 14 days to arrive -

Its Ok - found this: http://www.whale.ltd.uk/documents/Supersub.pdf

Almost complete with putting BW back together.. evrything has gone well, until I came to reconnect the bilge pump - the last item. It wont work anymore. When it did it never worked that well, som Im guessing it was wired incorrectly. It is a Whale SuperSub 500 pump and a Rule Deluxe Auto switch, which opperates off, on (manual) or on (auto) 1.) Is this an automatic pump? 2.) How should the pump and switch be wired? Adam

Kam, That still doesnt tell me where or how I get it? I cant recall from my VHF course who to obtain it. Cheers AF

I have just upgraded to DSC!! I have replaced the Icom M401 Euro with the new DSC version ready for the new season. One question: How do I obtain my MMSI number? Can I use the set without it until it arrives? Adam

Hi Scott, Use the 'Boat Buddies' section. This is specifically designed for this purpose - boat owners looking for crew and crew looking for boats. It is usually a bit quiet this time of the year, but come the spring you should be able to take your pick of boats! With over 60 boats in the club youll have a fair choice! Adam

Cheers Guys - very helpful. AF

When boat builders experiance a bear edge of fibreglass, a 'U' shaped strip is often used to cover the edge and make a neat finish. I cant find this anywhere??.... What is it called? I want to use some to seal some lockers on the boat from water ingress...any other ideas? Can I buy a sealant strip especially for this purpose? Adam

I have the 25l Quicksilver tanks with fuel guages on BW x 2...they cost me

Tides are quite big on Mon...deep water wrecking will be hard work...Thurs looks better for smaller tides. Adam

Paul - Im having a bash at finishing mine in the morning - Ill take a piccie and post it up here. I reckon that on an open boat less is more...ie just opt for the one switch panel, that should be adiquate to run all of the toys. Adam

Id ditto Barrys comments Kam - a completely seperate set up is far easier to keep in good condition, the ones that are in-built are notorious for corroding... Adam

Guys, Having just filled the last place on the Alderney trip to give me a full compliment of 12, I have just had a phone call from a member who is having to pull out due to unavoidable circumstances.... Therefore time is getting extremely short and I have 1 place left to fill again. Anyone who is interested please let me know ASAP...also those who are going please ask your friends and colleagues. Cheers Adam
