Welcome Pilou. Since you already know boating, and I shouldn't ask about anchors, then how about, which is best, 2 engines or single screw?
Oh wait, I might have already seen another thread about that one. Nevermind!
Newbie not new in boating.
Hi to all.
Welcome aboard
Welcome Pilou. I gather you're in France, but maybe not actually native French. If you are you do English well.
Anyway, we always love to see some pics of your boat, and also, as a moderator, might I make a plea for you to fill out some detail in your profile, which many new members sadly fail to do, and if not done early, never seems to get done.
Cheers,
So then welcome from a second moderator. We are pleased to have you with us. (Contrary to popular belief, all of us moderators are really nice people, as well as avid boaters). We hope to hear more from you. Sometimes we get a welcome message from someone checking in for the first time. And then . . . they seem to drop off the face of the earth. I think that perhaps newcomers think that if they are not experts, then they should not chime in. Well, none of us are experts. But the community mind is. So chime in.
Welcome aboard! What ever you do don't ask about anchors! You'll start a thread that will never end. The answer is always the same, your anchor's too small, it's the wrong kind, and you don't have enough chain.
Thanks for the video of the boat, Pilou. Beautiful trawler! I am envious!
I'm not quite sure why she cannot post the video of the boat. Try this and see if it works.
Pete, was there ever a "Boat Shopping" sub-forum here? I have always used those for cars. Maybe trawlers are too obscure to warrant that, though.
Mierde! (French for "darn," someone told me.) That's one heck of a nicely appointed yacht. I will work to get my boat (when I get one) looking, maybe slightly, like that... If i can get halfway there I will be thrilled. At least on the inside, especially the fabrics (les fabriques?). I can't speak French but, dang, that's a gorgeous (supere?) boat. I would need a new job though, to be able to afford that kind of a refit. I will go to EU's web site and see if they are hiring! Hope I could telecommute.

It's the automatic block to people putting up live links until they have made a certain minimum number of posts, John. In effect, to prove they are bone fide members, and to try to block pure spammers. So nothing personal, just practical. However, yes, you will be fine doing that.
Oh, wow, yes, lovely boat. However, now Pilou has blown her cover as truly French, I will find it hard to resist practising my French on her, like I do with our friend Bugster, in New Caledonia, as I try to prepare for our next visit to Europe to visit family in London, and the unfinished business of wanting to see more of France.
Je t'avais prévenu Pilou...
Take care, close, but I`m fairly sure it`s French for "****".Mierde! (French for "darn," someone told me.) ...
"La Nouvelle Caledonie". Did I get that right? I have been there several times, it is well connected by air to Sydney via the flagship carrier, Aircalin (aka Air Calamite, according to a Mauritian born French "pied noir" friend).

I wondered if it might bother the filter, clearly not.Close Bruce, too close for comfort.
