Saturday Weather opinions

Rich,
There is a guy at Hartlepool who has a couple of hi-abs, he would collect it and deliver.
He lifted and brought a Mitchell from Poole, cheetah cat from Poole and just recently a offshore 105 from Torquay. He might be worth a call if the weather doesn't fair up for you. He lifted them from their ports and dropped the boats in at Hartlepool marina.
it's cheaper than paying for cranes either end and transport, he does it all.

We all like to venture well off during the summer months and sometimes we can rack up over 40 miles in a session. However, we have confidence in our engines because we know our oil and filters are replaced on a regular basis and all essential maintenance has been undertaken. Regarding the "new" boat, you cannot gain a high level of confidence from a short sea trial and you are relying upon the sellers word that the engine and steering gear etc is up to scratch. The uncertainty surrounding the weather is bad enough but there's no way you should attempt to steam from Humberside in an unproven vessel. Have it delivered by road, it may work out a tad dearer but it's quicker and safer.

well said, i've done it twice but only 6 hour runs and it is in the back of your mind regarding reliability of boat and engine.

Hi richy, we did grimsby to royal quays 120 miles took 10 hours in south
easterly 3-4 6 to 7 foot seas very tiring plus this time of year it still gets dark early we did it in december 6 years ago ,you have got to be carefull getting around spurn point and flambourouh head as the tide puts up some big waves.. our boat is 9metrs so uses a bit more fuel but we used over 200ltrs
on trip. transport on low loader is roughly £1.50 a mile from hauliers base to drop off and back plus vat. hope this helps.

I should of gone with my instincts and not the weather report, sea is smooth to slight at worst, could of made good time at 16knots cruising up...never mind until next weekend.
