Hi Tim did you fit the cockpit safety strop attaching ring/s using selftappers? If so can i suggest you bolt them through with countersunk machine screws washers and nylock nuts through a large backing pad of 18mm plywood behing the grp. Never scrimp on strength when it is something to do with safety. The loadings generated by the weight of an aduld been catapulted out of the cockpit would pull screws out instantly. I saw Salty Seadog at kip marina on sat and was reccomending your videos to my mates. Hope your solo cruise goes well.
Cheers for the tip, they are bolted through the fibreglass and there is a ply liner on the inside of the lockers so it's also through that so hopefully should be strong enough. Yeah I head from the new owner of salty the other day, he seems to be getting on well and has had a good summer. Cheers for spreading the word
Lol, being on my own was a bit of a mixed bag, generally ok with it but as you will see over the next few episodes being alone isn't that fun when things start to go wrong #spoileralert 😂
I may well be in a similar position in a couple of years time...
Good luck. I hope you enjoy the experience.
Thank you 😁
It seems you had an interesting time. Looking forward to seeing your story Tim.
It was a 'character building' experience this trip 😅 looking forward to getting this series out to everyone

Where was the boat moored
We were at RB marine 👍
You sound all sad now you're alone. Bet really you're super happy but know that you're in big trouble if you make it obvious 😉
