  1. Maybe, but you know that already

  3. 12-17mph SW saturday 14-24 mph SW sunday
  4. No, but I do have a strong windlass. Strong enough to winch up a 12kg anchor AND a big rock from the seabed!!
  5. Do plumbers use cable ties?? These came from RS components, a respected electrical suppliers I think you’ll find.
  6. Well when I was trying different configurations of tying off 3 snapped just getting the anchor onto the roller. Hence 4 we’re used.
  7. Jethro and Denzil go to a bakery. Denzil steals two Cornish Pasties and puts them into his pockets and leaves. He says to Jethro : “That took great skill and guile to steal those Pasties. The owner didn’t even see me.” “That’s just simple thievery,” Jethro replied. “I’ll show you how to do it the honest way and get the same results.” Jethro then proceeded to call out the owner of the bakery and says: “Sir, I want to show you a magic trick.” The owner was intrigued so he came over to see the magic trick. Jethro asked him for a Cornish Pasty and then he proceeded to eat it. He asked another and after eating it again the owner says: “Okay my friend, where’s the magic trick?” Jethro then said: “Look in Denzils pockets.
  8. An oldie but a goodie 7.5/10
  9. So far for the past two seasons I’ve used it Mick, it’s been the best anchor I’ve had and it’s never slipped. And never failed to retrieve.
  10. Well that’s what I was trying to do. But because the chain then comes off the top of the anchors shaft and not the middle (as it would if shackled to the rear eye), the anchor shaft end hits the roller but won’t pass over. After much thinking and swearing and cable ties, I have now tied the chain to the top of the shaft and one link around the shaft end bend, this then helps the transition back onto the self roller. Hope that makes sense? ive used 4 x 8mm cable ties so hopefully it will be man enough to hold in the tide.
  11. Rig my danforth anchor to trip? I have tried various ways to run the chain but it just won’t sit in the bow roller properly. As in it won’t come through. Any ideas.??
  12. Kind of yeah. Not about this thread though. Until he logs on anyway.
  13. I’m a fan of the more natural real colour. But it does need something, and that something always changes the natural appearance. Semco is the best yet imho .
  14. Climate change……. This is probably a better phrase. Caused more by the earth twisting on its axis more than by man. If the world is warming then why is Australia water getting colder? Im not saying the world isn’t changing, just saying that no matter what we do it will still happen, because that’s just the way of things. It’s a cycle that will happen regardless. But those in power use it as a con to tax more and keep things and industries moving on.
  15. I was just letting you have your moment. I know how fragile you are if proven incorrect.
  16. If it’s for treatment after a good wash and scrub I’ve used Semco teak sealer in Honeytone. Not cheap but looks good. The main thing is to wash the stains out first. There is an acid solution for this, but I use a jet wash. Then let it dry 100% before putting on the Semco.
  17. I told you, it’s not me it’s the phone.
