Hi all, it has gone very quiet on here....surely someone has something to say??? Dolphins in Torbay the other day no more than 30ft away from the boat and just off Brixham breakwater...what a lovely sight! Boat should be started on the fit-out any day now, we are about 9 weeks behind already so i real...

Hi all, just a quick update. Boat delivered today (friday), to be fitted out. Unfortunately delays in moulding mean the build slot has been missed. So for about a month so she will just be sat on the cradle....but at least its here! Also saw this 'cat'? nearby, not a new Lochin development is it? SIMON...

Hi all, been to see the progress of my new boat again today and got some more photo's of her being moulded. She is a lot further along now and looking good, with the hull virtually complete and the superstructure taking shape separately. The hull is due to be released from the mould at the end of this week...

Hi Folks Seems like we are having a good year for Basking sharks. Saw up to 8 at a time yesterday with 4 working a very small patch which we drifted through. My son took the photo with a small ''point n shoot'' digital camera. The shark was only 2 meters away from the boat and clearly visible through the wat...

Hi All Had an interesting charter a few days ago. We had a BBC film crew filming White Tailed Sea Eagles from Lady Jayne. It is for a childrens wildlife programme called Deadly 60 presented by Steve Backshall. Thankfully we were lucky and the Eagles were interested and came close to the boat taking fish...

Greetings All I've been looking at the engin room ventilation arrangement on my old 33 and originally there was a series of holes in the back of the engine box with a cowel over them but these holes had been blocked off many years ago and the acoustic insulation had been applied over the top of the blocked...

Hey everyone, Just would like to know if anyone else is having problems with viewing the postings. We have to keep using the < and the> arrows to move the page as the postings appear really large and not within the normal margins. Any ideas on how we can fix the problem? Thanks Kelly

Hi Everyone What about posting some pics of your favourite anchorages? I have added some to get the ball rolling, hopefully I can add more as the summer progresse and I get a chance to explore our local area more. This bay is on the south of Mull and only easily accessible by sea so seldom gets any visitor...

Considering putting this in a Lochin 33, do you guys think it would be enuff power?

Harold Timmer · Harold Timmer

Hi everyone, Boy has it been a terrific week! After 2 years and 10 months (exactly) we have launched our Lochin. She was lifted from Landsborough on the 9th June, to the hardstand at the local marina. The only drama we had, was that the crane that lifted her from her cradle got bogged in my father in laws dr...

Hi All Finally got the lettering done so decided to head for Loch Drumbuie on Sunday as the weather was fantastic. Got a chance to play with my new radar/plotter works great. Amazingly it was cheaper to buy a combined unit than a stand alone radar!!!! Passed our local yacht club who were doing the round R...

Hi Guys, Havent contributed much to the forum in a long time so i thought i'd post a few pictures. We had the boat craned in on Friday and had our first spin of the year on Saturday. It was great to be back at sea! It was so calm & still we managed to back the Lochin into a cave thats just up the coast from ou...

Hi everyone I am going through the systems on the boat and familiarising myself with where everything is and how it works. I have an issue with access to the steering ram, at present the only access is through a hole about 6 inches in diameter which unscrews and lets you fit the emergency tiller. This in m...

Home(ish) at last Finally got Lady Jayne back in the water and back to Mull. Had to wait for a fair tide through the Cuan sound to avoid the 7 knot tide. Pretty unpleasant crossing the Firth of Lorne but the Sound of Mull was much better, good enough to trust the autohelm. Got most of the way home then the eng...

Hi im new to the forum. Im a proud owner of a lochin 33. The boat is out of the water at the moment undergoing a refit for the forthcoming season. I have spent weeks trying to track down a stern tube as the existing one has pitted and holed due to electrolizes. The stern tube is 3ft in lenght, 2 1/2" Overa...

Hi Folks Just thought I'd post a pic of my shiny new prop. Probably the last time I'll see it looking like this - almost tempted to get the brasso out, seems a shame to get it wet it is such a thing of beauty. Good news so far. New freeing ports cut and finished. Engine service started. Bad news so far. Deckwa...

Hi everyone, Well it seems we are now on the downhill stretch with our restoration, at least to the point where we are only a matter of weeks from launching her. Last weekend I finished off the combing. (see photos). Toe rails will be started tomorrow and hopefully finished this week. One side window ba...

Hi All At last the boat is out of the shed anf looking good with her new paint job. The surveyor was reasonably happy - until he measured the freeing ports. Turns out I need more, so we are going to cut slots every other frame and re instate two blanked off ports at the stern. Aslo need to upgrade two hoses to...

Hey guys, At the minute i have a 300hp ford sabre. At 2000 rpm i cruise at 10 knots i was just wondering if it would be possible to put a bigger prop on the boat and if it is possible what would be the best size prop for the boat. Cheers, Bernard Heading www.atlanticandshannonfishing.com

Hi All Things are finally moving on with Lady Jayne now. She is in a yard at Balvicar on the island of Seil and being well looked after.

Hello all, Sorry it has taken so long, but here are some more photos of the latest work. The superstructure (except the deck) is now all but done.

At last I have managed to complete on my new boat. It has taken longer than I expected but I hope it is a case of ''good things come to those who wait'' As you can see from the pic she has had the wheelhouse extended at some time but this will serve my purpose well. There is seating around the back and port side w...

Hi everyone, don't know if any of you have come across this site yet, it shows every commercial vessel over 500tons(I think)where it is, where it is going, how fast what type of vessel etc. I live on the Isle of Mull and find it interesting to know which ships I have seen in the Sound of Mull. http://www.a...
