I'd hate to think that some poor chap is sitting in boating purgatory (the equivalent of billy-no-mates) while we're having fun on the wate...

Arun Run this Saturday - Any more takers?

Hoping to take DIXIE and test an engine - Broombroom is probably dreading it...(there will be backup power, a la the SMOKEMONSTER II). Honestly tho', we welcome any late comers for a nice slow burble up the Arun...Convivial travel in convoy, a pleasant lunch and maybe some sea time for those boats t...

Following the departure of my Broom Rapier to new home with Vince (new CMBA member) in June, I felt somewhat somewhat bereft and a having become a rivethead last year, I had decided to add to the fleet . I have now joined a select bunch of members who own a boat passed on by our Chairman (J2 and Sha...

Re: Low Freeboard Fenders ( Taylor Made )

They are the same as your Healey's, but (as I remember and is worthwhile talking to Scandal) the Moonfleet has high freeboard and slab sides, so they either miss the pontoon edge or get swept away when the boat moves.

Re: Low Freeboard Fenders ( Taylor Made )
