Max speed I've managed, with a lot of gear aboard, (camping stuff, boat tent, 80 litres fuel, heavy ground tackle) is 39 knots. I hardly ever go there.
I changed the prop to a Solas Rubex 13.2 x...

I guess they've been letting them leave the factory tied down like that for at least 16 years, because that's exactly how ours was presented to us, though we had a bespoke boat cover on too. We towed...

Moon Raker has been kept afloat all season for the past eight years or so. I have a Rule 1200 gpm pump switched by a float switch. There is a cover, which leaks, over the boat from the console aft,...

I have an old 3 hp Johnson 2 stroke standard shaft aux for my 5.3m Humber. It has saved my bacon once, being used in earnest after a breakdown in the Sound of Jura.
2.5 - 3 knots. However, though...

Yes, it doesn't polish off, especially the Uno which is/was very thick. I think Trilux has it beat.
First time I've applied the Trilux directly to the GRP. It will be interesting to see how much...

Hi Springer,
As Poly says, bareboat RIB charter is very limited. I don't know of any that have smaller RIBs for bareboat charter in the area. Someone else has asked me about this last year...

I agree with the rest. Mount the ladder higher up, so it is well clear of the water while under way. I, too, think that's the source of your problem.

Agreed. Most nautical bends and hitches (knots) were designed to be easy to undo, i.e. not jam up hard. On the bow eye I have a bowline because it's too awkward to do an eye splice. When not under...
