Hi, thanks for the video. I'm looking for something like your bow roller to put on the stern of my boat. Would I be able to get one made up (are you based in Sheffield by any chance, a clue being in "city of stainless steel").

@@sailingcorribeemwera Galway, but my daughter lives in Sheffield. I'm converting a Hurley 22 to a junk rig, filling up the front section with foam, and stowing the anchor and chain, etc, low in the boat. I hope I can do everything from the cockpit and avoid the front of the boat; plus, the boat has no engine, so any momentum used to set the anchor will probably be by stern skulling. Once I chose an unstayed mast, I suddenly found there was no need for the bow to be so pointy, which made me wonder if I also needed to anchor from the bow (most sea anchors used to be anchored from the bow, but now the 'way' seems to be from the stern). But, I'm sure much of this is nonsense!

@@revtonyc relatively cheap and cheerful. It does the job, its not a fancy hi spec fast charging tablet but it does the job. You get raster type charts rather than the vector ones used on Navionics so the experience is more like using a paper chart. Got me round Britain last year! The guy at LCP is great, just trying to provide a way for people to get on the water without spending a fortune, gives a good service, helped me out with a repair on another tablet year. Visitmyharbour.com do the same thing and their website/ app has a lot of nav/pilotage info on it

Great video, lots of useful info. I am wondering how you got on buying petrol for your outboard?
@sailingcorribeemwera5 ай бұрын
Petrol can be hard to find nearby in some of the more remote areas, particularly in Scotland so I carried 2 jerrycans of 20l plus whatever was in my external fuel tank. In some harbours I had a mile or so walk to get petrol, in others the harbour master gave me a lift there and back! Probably I would have been fine with just the one 20l jerrycan and the 12l in my external tank which would be enough for 32 hours of motoring or approx 130 miles. Mwera ended up quite stern heavy with the fuel plus water (my water tank is under the cockpit sole). Mainly it was a matter of thinking ahead to where the next fuel would be available.
