Hi

Hi All

I’ve just got my first boat, a boatworld 330 with tohatsu 15 4 stroke. Only used a boat a couple of times before many years ago so I’m waiting until calmer conditions before giving it a blast.

I’m based on the shore of Gareloch, Scotland (not Gairloch in the North) if anyone else is local?

Andy

Hi Andy and :welcome to the forum!

We do have a few Scottish members and many of us like to come up to Scotland to take advantage of the amazing coastlines and right to roam camping.

First outing today, but choppy for my first time but loved it, only did up and down the loch, got up to about 14 knots, nowhere near full throttle though 👍
