That's quite cute Rob, only trouble is I've already got a thing to make my Cappucino frothy.
If I were to go the 'Auxiliary outboard' route (doubtful, but just curious) what sort of power would you need for an 18 foot Ring to be able to potter it back to base in average seas? 4hp? 6? More?
Just picked up some bargain bits from Ebay for it - pair of lovely little dome-shaped stainless nav lights - Tres Chic! A whole bunch of useful Merc 200 spares for next to nothing, and a Plastimo Offshore 75 bracket mount compass (I'll have to special-order the card to be marked ARSE and ELBOW
)
Out of interest - I see a lot of small boats with port and stbd lights but not that many wih stern lights. where would you put the white stern light on an outboard powered boat if you had one? Yeah, I know - the stern.
On a stick like a ribber? Top of the cowl? On a hat which you wear in conditions of low visibility..?
