I could always stick a link to here on my website if you like
Another way would be to start people on other forums talking about this forum, but that can backfire :o
Let me know if you want the link ?
Oh, and no I won't charge :D

Ah good, someone else that doesn't like paying over the odds :lol:
First time I went out I only had trainers so they got well and truly tested, and in all honesty, I don't think the grip is any better with deckies, though they do dry out better

Aw come on, that's cheating, fancy having a furling genoa :D Well I would actually :o Looking very nice and the weather looks to be holding too, but you do have another advantage over me, that bridge is way over your mast but I'm going to have to drop mine to get under the ones around here. Is yours...

Seems I'm first to vote :o
Must admit I'm not that keen on it, prefer to keep up with Paul Churchly who's doing a (sort of) round Britain in a mobo singlehanded, but then I know him so there is a difference :D

Looks very nice, and it sounds like you had an easy first sail in her too :D hope my first trip in Sixpence goes as smoothly, went out on another boat on Sunday, managed about 40nm in total, mostly under sail, but caught some nasty winds (just south of where a gale warning had been issued) then spen...

Deck shoes Vs Crocs

I splashed out last season and bought some proper deckies, well they were on offer, but this year the wife decided she wanted to try Croc's. Swears blind that they're better than deckies but I can't bring myself to even try them on. Anyone got any thoughts on this ? Personally don't want to look lik...

I've used Musto but find they don't keep me warm enough, so thinking outside the box I got hold of some bib trousers and a jacket from a company that supplies work wear for people that work in a deep freeze. Not sure how much cheaper they are, but they keep me a hell of a lot warmer than the Musto d...
