Hello all. Since I got 'Sorcerer' some nine months ago already and have been 'living with it', I am adding a couple of things. I got my builder, 'Blue water boats' in Plymouth to make some seat boxes which were retro fitted behind the wheelhouse. Once again they did an excellent job and look like they...

Hi Guys, Have'nt contributed much to the forum in a while, so here is a few pictures from a recent fishing trip on our Lochin. One of the best days fishing we've ever had! 7 boxes in total, mainly Haddock and one box of cod, with the odd Ling landed aswell. Couple of seagulls managed to get tangled in the b...

We have been making the most of the days by running trips in the mornings then heading off on our own or with friends in the afternoon. Had some good fishing too close to Bac Mhor (Dutchmans Cap). We have been lucky enough to have Dol...

Hi all. As the weather has been rubbish lately i decided to get 'Sorcerer' out the water for a check and bit of maintenance. The antifouling is good but the shaft anodes have completeley gone, vanished, flown off, whatever. I had the bonding of the shafts, props etc, checked by a marine engineer and...

Magpie · Magpie

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
