Let me put on the record that i appreciate the forum, including the offbeat humour (claymore), contrived grumpiness (wully) and poking fun at TOP. I also liked your wee fairwinds bookie. As for the rest of the ungrateful sods . . .

Twas not directed at denizens of this forum, it was specifically aimed at some newly arrived freeloader disatisfied with the main site who sent me a stroppy email because he had failed to read the instructions and consequently couldn't download the free manual he obviously felt entitled to.

That was why I posted the screenshot.

The forum remains, and I am glad you appreciate it. However, BlueMoment in general, for many years the most comprehensive cruising sailor's resource i the UK, has been a huge waste of my time and now lies rotting, a faint echo of its former self.

Did anyone ever have a Kelvin diesel?
A kelvin is of course a unit of measurement

I wonder which Kelvin we are dealing with here?...
