Our last trip out was our clubs centenary race, Windy with 1 reef in the main & genoa rolled to 1st reef, going well, & just got across the shipping channel 2 miles after the start, wind dropped enough to unroll the genoa. Just started sheeting in & big bang from aloft, down comes the ge...

Update to last post, I recently finished the fridge & solar panel installation. The old linear galley is completely rehashed. Fridge compartment is aft end then a small sink, then twin burner cooker & narrow storage cupboard next to the main bulkhead. Fridge compartment & galley was fabr...

Im pretty sure the brochures are ones we have already, Price lists ditto. But i will scan them & forward on. There are also brochures & price lists for the rest of the Marcon range Tomahawk25, Rival 32,Marcon 34 & Marcon Halberdier 36. The Construction general arrangement drawing is quit...

I got a phone call from a friend today who is clearing his dads shed out, In amongst the junk was a folder full of Marcon stuff including various Sabre 27 brochures & price lists. Also several drawings supplied by the factory to his dad who built Blue Oyster. nice result saving all this from the...

If you need new rudder mouldings i have moulds for fin keel & Bilge keel rudders stashed away in my loft.

We bought a Sprayhood from CJ marine 3 years ago. It fitted fine at the front but the sides that come back along the cockpit coaming were cut far too high. It had to go back to have 50mm added on to the bottom. Then it took over 6 months to get it back. Will not be using them again! Other thing with...

I chopped our boats original cool box out as it took up too much room, also it was a filthy health hazard but thats another story! We tried an electric coolbox but it was woefully inefficient & flatted the batteries in no time so was not used again. I also am currently loooking to fit a fridge i...

Some years back i re fitted a Yanmar 3 cyl diesel to a Sabre, cant remember the name but she was a late Brue yachts boat, originally fitted with a single cylinder 1gm 10 it had proven too small. Trouble was they had used the same engine beds which meant to get it all in the stern tube had been short...
