Baiter is OK, as in it's shallow and has decent facilities nearby, but I'd be tempted to try Mudiford on a rising tide as the slip is quieter and you could then work your way up to Christchurch to...

I used to have a T40 with a 20hp 4 stroke Mariner on the back. Would get up and plane well with 2 of us and a bit of gear in it, although it was quite heavy to handball around. I went from...

I fitted a Witter fixed ball and dedicated wiring harness from PF Jones to my last vehicle - an 8 seater Ford Tourneo (Transit) Custom. Was very impressed with how easy it was to do. Just had a...

I also had bad service from them. Ordered a steering console for my rigid boat but it never arrived after 3 false promises. I cancelled the order and got a refund in the end but he was quite snotty...

I'm OK about the current and navigation situation but as I don't have a VHF radio yet I'll most likely give this location a miss until later this year at the earliest, once...

Cardiff barrage - what's the craic?

Looking for a new launch site to get out on our roto and do a spot of fishing in the Severn estuary with my lad. I've never gone out from Cardiff before, but being Bromsgrove(ish) based it makes...

I've got a Honwave T40 and used to run it with a 4 stroke 20hp Mariner but I sold that and now have a 2 stroke 30 Yamaha motor.

The T40 is a heavy boat so while a 15hp will move you along at a...

I bought a 2nd hand bunked trailer for £150 off eBay. A couple of new wheels a couple of new keel rollers later and it was good to go for my T40.

I know, it's one of the most fertile places to grow stuff in the UK, presumably because the river periodically drops its goodness over the soil.

There's a pub at Lower Lode that'll let you use...

Not that far down. A couple of miles past Tewkesbury near Lower Lode. Is still tidal there I’ve been told.

Stealth taxes to put in on the Severn?

I'm a bit confused. What exactly do I need in order to be legit if I want to try my latest engine on the SIB on the lower tidal reaches of the Severn?

The Excel hire boats in St Ives harbour have an extra thick layer of textured rubber(?) glued to the bottom of them. Certainly seems to do the trick. I was talking to the lads operating them this...

Thanks Phantom, all useful info.

I was thinking that the S stamped on the VIN plate referred to 1980 but I guess that must refer to short shaft instead. I'll try and have another look and see if...

I'm loving the bow dodger - I could do with one of them for my Honwave.

Looks like it was actually made out of the carry bag. Brilliant idea!

My Yamaha 30AM 689 S

As above.

Make sure you're on a perfectly flat surface if possible. Partially inflate and make sure that the floors are central in the boat.

Has anyone launched from either Lamora or Penberth Cove?

I'm thinking that either would make a great place to put in for a day of SIBing and on the beach at Porthcurno. I can see from Google...

I've got a T40 Honwave but currently I'm motorless. I had at 20 Mariner 4stroke but sold it because I want a 30hp 2 stroke as it'll be lighter and more powerful.
