Good Day All We are looking at installing an Inner Fore-stay on Nomad. It would be a Solent type of rig with a self tacking jib forward of the mast. No need for running back-stays. Head goes to top of

I need to replace the mainsail on my 2003 sm2k. I would welcome advice on the best material, the weight ( in ounces) and the cut. All views would be most welcome. Happy Sails. Dennis SM408

Hi Joe, We have a Valeo 70A service alternator to which I fitted a smart controller and it seems to cope with 315Ah battery capacity pretty well. I was considering a larger alternator but the drive

Thanks Graham Just the info I need, I hope to fit a larger alternator (Bosch 120amp with an external smart charger) to cope with the 300amp battery bank while doing the spring fit out.

Andy, On my Maramu the fascia just unscrews revealing the shelves behind. I needed to take some of the quarter round timber trim off first. It was nailed on but can be carefully prized off without

Hi John, We intend to do something similar in one of the heads, we like simplicity. How difficult was it to remove this fascia ? Can you give me any pointers ?? Thanks in advance for your
