  1. Try this Jonny http://www.boatsafetyscheme.com/site/GettheGuide_7.asp Plenty of info on the site also
  2. Ian You could rig an extra outlet with a flexible tube to dispate the heat outside the cabin; I am also told Eber's make great Hair Dryers :-D Many a true word is spoken in jest Perry, it has been done, an outlet in the heads with an adaptor similar to the arrangement found in some hotels. :-D :-D
  3. Yesterday evening Brian
  4. Soon by the looks. Sorry for the poor photo's from my phone
  5. A bit American - The bit about dented or scratched could be very apt to some hire craft
  6. I can't see a place for these in anything other than a substantial cruising craft based on the price which as David has eluded to is eye watering
  7. This one being launched in March no RRP yet. http://www.voller.com/emerald/ Video on the technology here: http://www.voller.com/applications_mar.asp#
  8. Well done Ian I think I will be doing similar before Easter. Please keep us posted
  9. A couple of shots at Wells which now has all tide state floating pontoons, so a viable trip now for a weekend. Settled weather a must I would not try it with anything with a North or East in it. Book moorings ahead and if you pre arrange and call up the harbour master he will come out to meet you and guide you in. There is a bar at Wells entrance and this is best crossed somewhere near high water. The channel into the harbour dries at LW and is quite narrow, advice is to keep as far to port as possible and follow the winding channel. Wells is a quaint unspoilt Fishing Port with some great Fish & Chips to be had. If you are bothered about the entrance have a run up in the car for a look and a chat with the Harbour Master. One shot of the entrance to Southwold; entry not recommended when wind has much East in it and any strength as the entrance can be 'interesting' in these conditions. Best entrance time is at slack water or just into flood. Ebb is very strong here up to 6 knts on spring. A genuine 6knts rather than imagined, when you consider the Bure at Yarmouth at 'full chat' at MHWS is just over 3 knts the ebb at Southwold is something to be respected. In the photo the Harbour entrance is just behind, when you pass the 'Knuckle' on the Starboard side keep well over to the starboard wall until you reach the Coastguard Station that can be seen further up river and then move back toward the centre of the river.
  10. Checked ours at the weekend and it is 800w. In 'theory' the 1kw Honda would do the job but I am still concerned about 'start up' draw required of this and other appliances we may use (not at the same time) so think it may be the 2kw unless there is a convincing argument for 1kw being enough (and I am ready to be convinced )
  11. Ian, Thanks for that, good tip. I have a consumer unit first in line so will check this out.
  12. Hi Ian, Odd times for 15-20 mins or so, mainly heating water our immersion/calorifier is 800w
