I got a 430S recently too. Excellent piece of equipment and fits the pedastool of the 26X perfectly.

The only problem I have is that when i go over about 8 knts I loose the sonar. I have tried lowering the transducer (mounted on the transom) but no difference.

Any suggestions? :?:

Took the boat out of the water, with 40 litres still on board, back in November last year, no additive to the fuel, started first time in May this year. Maybe I was lucky or maybe this fuel addative is a load of nonsense! :wink:

Must agree, great photos and interesting summary of the sailing.

Thinking of putting a spayhood on fifty fifty but was thinking it may impair going forward. Looking at your full enclosure It strikes me that it must be difficult?

Thought i'd better embellish my request.

I need a sail cover and have no 'off the shelf' availability here in the Highlands of Scotland. My best bet is to have one made and I thought I'd ask the 'board' for dimensions of the ones already in use.

Appreciate a response if poss.

Cheers
