Hello everybody, I've just joined this forum because I'm a great admirer of Lochins, especially 33s, and hope to own one in the not too distant future. My current boat is an IP23 so it will be quite a step up for me and my family. I bought the IP23 to give my son and daughter a chance to learn the ropes. B...

Anyone know the history of the Aquabell boats? When were they were first constructed etc. I understand the original design was by Robert Tucker. Regards, Aqua.

Does anyone know if Aquabells have boat build numbers or HINs marked into the boat and if so where would they be located? Aqua.

Hi All Just taken delivery of my new autopilot! I've gone for the Raymarine SPX10 course computer with the ST70 control head. The shock was when I found out I also needed the ''backbone'' cable to make it all work which was an extra £160!!! With the pump and compass etc. it all arrived this AM. Just spoken...

Hi all, Got a couple of nice shiny chrome like 2kg CO2 fire extinguishers for the boat but does anyone know where you can get spring clip type brackets for them? They fit around the bottom of extinguisher with a fixing plate up the back and clip around the neck. The ones supplied are just a lug so the exti...

Hi Everyone, Wondered what plans you all have for your boats this year whether refurbishment, repair or just getting out and using and enjoying your time afloat. Blue Swell is due a lift,scrub and hold if i decided not to have lifted ashore for a few weeks in a month or so.I have found using micron ex...

Hi all, hope you've had a good season. Have any of you fitted synchronous windscreen wipers? I would like to upgrade my wipers to 2 speed with intermitent. I'm quite happy for the passenger to operate their own wiper which would leave the other two to be modified. The vetus control units look nice, are t...

Hi All, Just in the process of giving Blue Swell a good clean and am going to use oxalic acid to brighten the topside gelcoat as has gone slightly yellow.

Hi Folks Thought you might be interested in this. It is a link to the BBC I player for a kids wildlife programme called Deadly 60. It was filmed on Mull and aboard Lady Jayne last year.

Hello Dave, Sorry for the slow reply and my lack of posts lately. I looked at your photos and the boat is really now coming together nicely. You were writing that the trim is done in Iroko. I believe it is a family of teak. The original factory Lochins all had Iroko frames. Very nice looking and durable tim...

hi all, question: if I let Tommie fall dry with low tide without legs, will water come on the deck through the drains before she starts floating again when the tide comes in ? best regards, kees.

kees · kees

Hi all, As the frige I placed last year in Tommie appeared to be much to small if Chantal's thirsty family comes by, and the space under the front bench was used for storing things we don't realy need, I made a 80 ltr. refrigerator in it. the compressor I placed on the coolest place deep down under the wheel...

Hi Folks My Raymarine 4000 auto pilot has gone useless and it looks like I am going to have to replace it. The current system uses a wheel drive which I am told should not be fitted to hydraulic steering systems as it can't cope with the slippage of the pump. Having said that it was just about adequate for my...

Hi all, Since the 4 x 22 x 19 R prop hangs under Tommie, she tends strongly to starboard. There are no return valves mounted in the hydraulic system. When i let go the steering wheel above 9 kn. she immediately goes hard starboard. I cannot feel any play on the rudder shaft and there is no air in the hydrauli...
