    Dolphin RIBs

    I wouldn't do anywhere near them! I had Andrew at Dolphin do some repairs to an inflatable... poor communication, wasn't ready when promised, had to visit 4 times... final visit they hadn't even started on it and lost it in a pile so I waited while it was hunted out and then repaired while I waited.... Repair failed in a few months anyway.
  3. I can assure you having previously been on the committee... that there is no hands in their pockets, looking the other way, pretending there was nothing they could do etc etc... Division cut offs / splits were regularly discussed (and passionately!)... but in a democratic system you need to have the numbers in support before making any changes. Just because something didn't change doesn't mean it wasn't discussed and debated. I think your post is poorly written putting a negative light on the committees of the past who all put in their time on a voluntary basis. Having said that It's always g
  4. General Lee was never going to do the triple series.... the co-owners will be racing the mighty Hard Labour once more. There is no set programme yet for General Lee, the plan is to get her looking good, sounding great and back sailing... once that's achieved then we will look at what racing we want to do. Seen to many people state all these races they are going to do and they are never ready... We will get the boat ready then decide on the races and challenges to take on!!! But you can bet the boys are pretty excited to see what the General Lee can do.... https://www.faceb
  5. Have you priced up a new drum? Also check what's out there secondhand.
  6. Just got the email from Westhaven... marina fees going up another 2%... at least its less than the normal 8-9% annual increase
  7. Too many variables... Arev you carrying weed onboard or wrapped around appendages? and how much weed?
  8. There is a rumour the launch was having electrical work done by a guy on the piss...
  9. Saildrives are smoother, no alignment issues, less vibration etc. On Hard Labour (Farr 1020) the sail drive has never had a thing done beyond normal servicing. I suspect the Volvo sail drive is better than the Yanmar unit (not cone clutch?). However when only 20 hp is going through the same unit as much more powerful engine can be hooked up to... it is inherently over engineered so probably pretty bulletproof
  10. Rockford Fosgate's are tough and exceptionally loud... Their bigger speakers perform best at volume and lose a bit of definition down low but the 6.5" is great throughout the range. I would never go back to fusion. And you want the M2 version...
  11. 2 days later and look who is now leading...and I think rich will get richer in the short to medium term...
  12. Still liking the west.... I reckon Thomas Ruyant will soon be leading. Le Cam will need to sail angles DDW while Thomas is reaching at pace
  13. West always tends to come out on top in these races on this part of the track...
  14. That's what all the Westhaven Club's do!
