Hey thanks guys. Apparently my bro' couldn't find an ID tag, or hasn't looked. (I actually havn't asked him if he did). He simply told me...
[ATTACH] My brother just bought this in Australia. He didn't know what make it was, I suggested it's a Bertram (18ft), possibly a Caribbean....
Ok, thanks guys. I value the opinions on this forum. Ultimately you can't tell my sis' anything, she makes her own way through life. I know she's...
PFD designs differ, depending on the environment it will be used in. Kayakers need freedom of movement, but an unconscious adult in rough seas...
Hi, I'm Dirk (from down under) So my sister is thinking about buying this 25ft Holland in Western Australia. She & her partner have been...
Would a gas burner do? Last winter I still had the boat out on a regular basis, although some fish species move to warmer waters & a stiff cold...

Based on the areas I go fishing, I rarely anchor in more than 5 metres of water. So in theory I could use just 2 metres of chain & let out 15...
I'm over the idea of hand coiling the 15 odd metres of 12mm anchor rope on to the deck, I figured this would be a better option. Also the chain...
I concur. As a phone it does a superb job. I wasn't holding my breath for any good phone based software for marine purposes but it was worth asking.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 & I'm interested in downloading an application to enable accurate real time gps positioning on the ocean. I am in...
Waaaaaay too top heavy. A vessel has no stability while it's on land & I'm guess as she slid down the slip the stern started to float, lifting the...
New interior lights to go with the Nav' lights. Blacked out the windows today. Makes a world of difference!
Running lights refit. Today I refitted the nav' lights & a stern light. Also fitted a new LED cabin light. I need some new globes so then I can...
