Young Mr Newcombe is down that way but cant remember what he trades as....

Sopac has a pulley kit to convert early 3YM30's to serpentine belt or Balmar type alternators

There are likely to be a few professional musicians on other boats too, we enjoyed their music wafting over the water last year and at tall ships this year.

Oh well the official powerboat of the Prada cup was out there, the old Azimut now branded Yanmar -so probably had some Yanmar powered crash pumps aboard.
