Hi All Just been inside a workshop at Creran marine for a week with LJ. What a great facility, shame I didn't know about it years ago. Massive sheds with plenty of space, level floors good lighting single and 3 phase electrics etc etc. All for less than £200 a week - bargain. Our biggest mistake was not rub...

Hi all, We always look for a fishing spot on the edge of a shallow sandbank ( 6 ft.) and deeper water ( ca. 40 ft) Already from wind force 4 against the tidal steam, we get a bumpy sea on this spots and it looks if the waves come from all directions. Not a problem for fishing, but for sailing home Tommie, while s...

Hi All Not been much activity on here of late so I thought I would see if anyone still stops by. LJ is still languishing in the winter yard, we are trying to get all the sanding done before going into the workshop on the 1st week in March but weather isn't playing ball. Hope everybody else plans for 2015 ar...

You have probably all had the experience of how one job leads to another. I started my pre summer check with a small repair of an exhaust leak on starboard side, then found the risers were very corroded that lead to inspection of the manifold. Before I knew it we were inspecting the cylinders and oh boy .....

Hi Folks Lady Jayne had her 5 year out of water survey yesterday for her cat 2 coding and passed with no recomendations from the surveyor at all. What a difference from the boat we bought 5 years ago when the surveyor came up to me with a grim expression on his face and a list a mile long. While I was waiting t...

I was watching this video of a race boat on you tube, and saw a nice looking Lochin 33 in the video. If you fast forward to 2.52 on the video, you will see it come into shot. I wonder if it belongs to anybody on here?

After a really rubbish start to this year, with the boat breaking free from her moorings, we are finally nearing completion of the repair works.
