Re: Re-galvanising anchors
Re-galvanising has now been completed on 4 anchors - my two and two others - but there's a point worth noting by anyone else who may think of getting this done in the future. There was a price step from £115 to £140 at a combined weight of 50kg or over, and I expected to pay the higher figure becaus...

Re: Membership applications
Facebook is currently causing problems because there seem to be several groups/communities/discussions evolving simultaneously and people are getting confused among multiple 'threads'. Ken

Re: Membership applications
Welcome back, Jerry. I understand that your application should have gone through by now - the forum makes a good back-up if our email link fails. As for the Bristol Channel, you have my respect! I assume you'll be sailing from the Axe and that Brean Down gives a bit of shelter. At least you won't ha...

Re-galvanising anchors
I am intending to have a couple of rusty anchors re-galvanised at the Eastleigh plant. However, the cost per kilogram will be less if I take along about half a dozen anchors in one batch. If any other Association member in central southern England (ie. within easy reach of my home in Hythe, west of ...

Re: Help Required: Sabre 27 Moonflower washed up at Warsash
I've now looked at Alan Hill's original Sabre drawing, a small copy of which is in the handbook. He drew the keel casting as seen on Moonflower, with a wide top splay recessed into the hull. Another drawing, undated and possibly by Marcon, refers to eight keel bolts, all stainless and 9 inches long,...

Re: Help Required: Sabre 27 Moonflower washed up at Warsash
For the record, I recently inspected the hull of 'Moonflower', which was rescued from Hamble foreshore and has been on dry land at Hythe SC. There is absolutely no sign of damage or disturbance to the fin keel anchorage. Mind you, the top of the cast iron keel splays to about 300mm wide where it fit...
