Hi Peter Count Crossjack in. We are out at Hamble Point for the winter now, but come spring time we will be out and about. Somewhere central like Cowes is always good as it picks up anyone from East or West, but we dont mind. There is another Freedom in Town Quay, some in the Hamble. Squirrel is Isl...

Hi Peter, We cant offer any advise as our previous surveyor was not too great either. We were going to try some of the Hamble advertised ones and I did get a reply from SURVEY@JIMPRITCHARD.CO.UK who was recommended, but we never got to use him. http://www.jimpritchard.co.uk/ Not sure if he has surve...

The rig shop in Saxon Wharf have repaired our camber spar and made parts for it in the past if you need. The main guy there definately knows his stuff! Good Luck.

Best Regards

Crossjack

Hi Ferronia, 14.5 knots - wow thats going some. Were you under spinnaker at the time? Tough gusty conditions for sure and sorry to hear about the kicker. Well done anyway a good result. Never seen Liberty, but will look out for her around the Solent.
See you soon
Crossjack
