Hi Folks My Raymarine 4000 auto pilot has gone useless and it looks like I am going to have to replace it. The current system uses a wheel drive which I am told should not be fitted to hydraulic steering systems as it can't cope with the slippage of the pump. Having said that it was just about adequate for my...

Hi all, Since the 4 x 22 x 19 R prop hangs under Tommie, she tends strongly to starboard. There are no return valves mounted in the hydraulic system. When i let go the steering wheel above 9 kn. she immediately goes hard starboard. I cannot feel any play on the rudder shaft and there is no air in the hydrauli...

Hi All I would like to share a few of our last days out with you. We have, with the permission of the RSPB been visiting a Sea Eagle area and getting them to come to the boat to take fish. I have added some pics taken from the boat and a link to a Youtube video. (not my work as I am too busy with the boat) We have had...

Hi all, I have 13 coats of antifoul on my Lochin 333, which I would like to remove. Pressure washing has removed the barnicles and weed but the surface is still very rough. Caustic has been suggested, what are your views and recomendations. Hope you can help, regards, Will.

Hi All I am assuming everyone is busy getting their boats ready for the coming season? as no one has been posting for a bit. I have decided to have the engine lifted out of Lady Jayne cleaned and repainted before the start of the season. It will also give me a good chance to clean the bilges and paint the engi...

Hi! I just signed up as a Lochin33 owner. I am Dutch and I use my Lochin for pleasure and own it for about a year now. The last 3 years, from 1997, she got a significant refit.

While crossing the 1 mile wide fairway Nort sea - Antwerp, the single prop of Tommie our 33 Lochin, picket up a piece of rope making her steer less. Out of experiance now, I can tell it's a bit scary to float steer less around in the middle of a fairway where up to 300 mtr. long ocean going vessels pass on port...

I know you going to reply: A good skipper don't need a bow thruster. but: When I asked our harbourmaster to reserve a place for Tommie, it apeared there was only one place left. It was between two fancy sailboats. Some measurements learned me that I had to make a very short 90 degree turn and there was onl...

Hi all, Wednesday morning 25 November, Chantal & I brought Tommie to Breskens marina, sailing with the tide, but against wind force 7 +. Unbelievable, but Tommie behaved as it was a nice sunny day.
