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 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. It was only the second day of having paying passengers aboard so we were really nervous and still fixing things - note the d...

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...

Hi all, I have 13 coats of antifoul on my Lochin 333, which I would like to remove. Pressure washing has removed the barnicles and weed but the surface is still very rough. Caustic has been suggested, what are your views and recomendations. Hope you can help, regards, Will.

Hi All I am assuming everyone is busy getting their boats ready for the coming season? as no one has been posting for a bit.
