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. We only had a short passage from the previous yard but I was impressed with the way she handled the conditions (F5 on the beam and then astern) As you can see from the pics sh...

Hi all, I went through some of my photo collections and thought you might find the attached photos interesting. Photo #1 - 1988 Rye factory. #2 - Sprayrails mark I. #3 - My dads boat March 1978 in Rye. #4 - London boat show 1978. This Lochin they called a Potter. They only made one, and eventually got sold...

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...

Hi all, When I took the original factory fitted lock off (wheelhouse door) of course after 22years it fell to pieces in my hands.
