Re: Shopping
Next time I see you I'll cable tie you to your boat.... they are really quite strong and hard to break unless you really really really try very very hard.... really ;)chris moody wrote: ↑11 Feb 2019, 22:04That method of attaching the chain to the tripping end and securing the chain to the proper end of the anchor with cable ties has always worried me. If the cable ties snap the anchor will unset itself and drag.

Re: Shopping
I have mine set up with the cable tie fix, It was one of the first things i learned from Paul... TBH, I've found it to be fault free so far, but i guess there's always a first time for everything to go pete tong

Re: Shopping
What like this.
Attach with an Alderney ring.
Use like this.
Although can’t ever see this technique useful with a small anchor on a sib.

Re: Shopping
Boatworld are a real bricks ‘n’ mortar establishment plus an online retailer. Some good kit and keen prices on lots of boating goodies.gratemaker wrote: ↑07 Apr 2019, 17:11Hi folks,i have been browsing the net looking at Inflatables and i have come across a company called boat world they are doing BWAF 360 with v air deck witch looks the part does anyone know anything about them cheers.
Have recently branched out into more boats, ribs and inflatables, most of which are Chinese copies/origin.
Their air V deck range is a blatant Honwave copy and they look ok and pretty smart. Having seen them in the flesh I would say the overall build and quality of fittings fall somewhat short of the Honwaves, although above average for many of the Chinese offerings. Bearing in mind the cost is not that far off the cost of a Honwave (some good discounts to be found) then after you factor in resale values, any initial savings would seem less attractive.
Good but not as good as the Honwaves IMHO
