UK round the top
Thu, 12 Nov 2009 05:35:07 -0800 (PST)
A friend has asked me to join him sailing his 30 footer round the
north coast of Scotland from Oban to Peterhead.
No date mentioned yet, but interested to hear views from those who've
done the Pentland passage west-to-east before. When (window) would you
plan the trip? And any suggested top stopping off points/s ...

Chirp, chirp

Chirp, chirp. Is it a bird? No, it's CHIRP, the Confidential Hazard
Incident Reporting Programme, with which many of you will be familiar
from their inserts which have accompanied some of the sailing magazines
for the past few years.
I'd like to hear the panel's views on the item entitled "Situational

House Batteries
Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:30:15 -0000
My 'built to a price' Beneteau has eaten its first set of house batteries.
They were branded 'Tudor' and I believe they are Indian made 'car
batteries'.
Does anyone have advice regarding a deep discharge replacement
that is likely to last for 5 or more years
I have my eye on Elecsol 85Ah batteries at the mom ...

There are now more Africans in England than in many African countries
Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:33:33 -0800 (PST)
There are now more blacks in England than in many African countries,
many of which are far larger than the UK. How far is England going to

Bedding compound/sealant for aluminium fittings
Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:24:35 +0000
A friend took of a cast Al fitting a while back and found the acid curing
agent had badly corroded the fitting. I think he said he used Lifecaulk
which, I seem to recollect, is a polysulphide.
RTV silicone cures with the production of acetic acid and I know causes some
corrosion - I have seen it.

Who Controls the "British" Media?

The mass media form for us our image of the world and then tell us
