Rice Pudding about to sail between the breakwaters at Ramsey

Swing bridge in Ramsey harbour getting some more excercise

Northern Star with skipper John and me made the trip but did not start and instead crewed for Ramsey club member Neville on his aptly named Trapper 24 " Maelstrom " We had the same problem of no wind but horrible chop after Langness but soldiered on to finish just after midnight!! Then set...

Hi Jim Garlieston is a top spot it was used during the war to test out mulberry harbours? and there are still some on the coast between garlieston and wigtown Yes it does dry but i,ve noticed crab boats floating by the wall where there is usually some water at all states. There is also a harbour at ...

Garlieston harbour just up from isle of whithorn looks an interesting spot. Very sheltered,drying but with the possibility of remaining afloat against the wall.

If anyone is doing the cevni please let me have your email and i will send a pdf of a card which has all the info on signs and signals that you are likely to come across for the exam Duncan

Just a thought,If you have the day skipper qualification you can have the icc without doing the course, just a fee required. I got mine that way and had the cevni endorsement as well by doing the test online

Hi david,just a point on the sandstone,40mm is too big and would take some time to crush down and would get everywhere The stuff we used was almost sharp sand grade but there is a generic name for it which has slipped my mind. but armstrongs would probably have a record of the 2x20 tonne loads of th...

David, Road planings do not pack down very well and environmentally they are questionable. I think a better solution for the surface of the boat park is crushed brick/building rubble and then a coat of fines which can either be sandstone or limestone it results in a hard and even surface. Armstrongs...

If anyones interested also,i haven,t sailed off the end of the earth-only as far as Holyhead in Feb with Jan Brass and yes it did actually feel like that. Sorry to have missed a chance of crewing in the round iom race but due to other commitments i couldn,t make it. Aren,t you supposed to have more ...

Anyone interested in buying a 20' plywood-don,t laugh one of them sailed around the world but it did take 4 years!- trailer sailor? I had a look at it but jibbed at the thought of towing it from Caistor back to lancs. Nice guy desparate to sell (been there!!) and £1500 would clinch it. I think the 4...
