I would be interested in coming along and introducing myself if that would be OK. Either Oban or Embra is fine and most of the dates are fine but the sooner a definite target the better

Boat Electrics and Electronics Ltd are also based at Kip and they deal with Raymarine. I've recently had a quote for a Raymarine Wheelpilot

Didn't get to see it; too busy staring in blank bemusement at Englands lack of a clue! Sounded good when I read the reports. Forgive the English slant; I am.

Naah, Canna's far too nice for them

Have to confess that, having greatly enjoyed the Lewis trilogy by Peter may, I am struggling to get to grips with this book. Maybe it meanders more than I like

Claymore,
I've only just seen this. Very sorry to hear this news.

Visited my pampered craft on Windermere today.

You will understand my consternation when I say, at 400m through bins, that the forehatch was wide open unlike when I last checked over 10 days ago. Had been left on vent and catch had broken - easy to sort just a nuisance

Can anyone tell me, how does the Renown/ Pentland/ Berwick/ Longbow range compare with the Moody 33? Another boat where you appear to get a lot for your money/ I was moored immediately ahead of one in Tarbert, Loch Fyne, for two days in 1990 but we never discussed it's merits or otherwise.

As said previously, if you miss the end bits, the sailing section is pretty readable.
I think, as with many books available free on e-readers, it could do with some serious editing.

I may be a bit out of date because I've not been to any of them for at least 25 years but: -
1. St Ninian's Bay, Bute
2. Puilladobhrain
3. Bull Hole

They sail Sceptre out of Fleetwood; that must be fun with a draft in excess of 3m

I sailed a ketch rigged Berwick from Loch Carron in about 1981, when there was still a charter company at North Strome so sailing another would probably do little to elucidate. I need to try, in quick succession: - a Renown; a Konsort; a Halmatic 30; and perhaps one of these - http://www.western-hor...

Thanks for that Bob; it sort of confirms my thoughts. My only fear with a Konsort, which I have sailed for a week maybe 25 years ago, is that acquisition will swallow the budget and leave little or nothing for the inevitably ancient engine and wiring etc. The Konsort, from Rhu, performed very well i...

Mmmmm hadn't thought of one of those. Chartered one from Ardvasser (?) in the mid 80's but can remember little about it beyond having a less than watertight forehatch.

What sort of prices do they fetch now?

Hi, A scarce few of you may know that I hope to return to Scottish waters, within the next 18 months, after a gap of 25 years or so. Probably The Clyde but maybe further North on the West Coast. I no longer have, since my late 20's, any ambitions in relation to racing, either off-shore or round the ...
