Brigantia has been sold


Brigantia has been sold!

After giving us three years of fun and joy and looking after her novice crew, Brigantia went to pastures new in the Autumn of 2013. This blog remains as an archive of our activities on board.

Our new yacht, "Erbas" has her own Ships Log

Spend, spend, spend

BOAT : Bring On Another Thousand

Just placed an order with Force4 for some fairly essential bits

Sikaflex - for fitting the log transducer if we get the chance to dry out this coming weekend
Two new deck mushroom vents - one can't be closed, one can't be opened and is broken anyway!
Some white self amalgamating tape for taping up the spreader boots etc.
A set of plastic shroud covers in the hope that they'll help to stop the genoa sheets hanging up on the shrouds
A sail track stop to put an end to the annoying habit of the mainsail luff bullets falling out
A reel of seizing wire - no more lost shackles for us!
A couple of spare shackles just in case the seizing wire doesn't work :-)
A bottle of proper outboard 2 stroke oil
And a 2 stroke measuring jug

That little lot, a mere drop in the ocean compared to what I could spend if the money was in the bank, came to £93.50 including delivery. Oh well, I shall just have to try and get more overtime!
