Thanks - love Polkerris. It’s a private beach I think - Rashleigh Estate - assume you can just rock up, beach the boat, go for several beers at the Pub and then disappear. No harbour master or dues to pay?
Any advice on the best apps for working out distances between points on the coast. I wanted to work out how far Pentewan was to Polkerris and back the other week so that I could judge whether my fuel tank would get us there and back.

Would love to know how far you went out - across to Fowey or Polkerris.

Thanks
Sounds like you got the Honwave bug like I have ! I too amd a newbie and have done the same as you - t38 plus 20hp. You get used to the OB weight and it gets easier. There are loads of tow bridles on fleabay if you dont fancy the DIY approach. Try this one - https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=h...
Yes it's the air floor. Whenever I've seen guys with the alu floor versions they've always struggled moving them around. Easy with this for me and my 11 year old son.
