    What Is The Main Purpose Of Pedelecs ?

    And one or two tories who aren't scum perhaps ? I think last 4 or 5 posts have proved why thread should be closed and politics banned.

    What Is The Main Purpose Of Pedelecs ?

    For what its worth, here,s my 2 cents worth. The Brexit thread is certainly not intrinsically wrong. Its generated loads of traffic , kept many entertained and even the naysayers still have to call in for a look at today,s " argument; insult or idoctination attempt". The problem to my mind is...

    The 15 is certainly easier on your own but 18 is by no means difficult. I launched and recovered mine frequently in my own...Dont get me wrong 15 is a fantastic boat...and very capable. Probably ny not inconsiderable bulk pushed me to 18...To sail its certainly not intimidating...if you can...

    There is also a car propelled by wind driven " turbine". It managed to exceed speed of wind exactly down wind and directly into it...! There are a few,yachts kicking about with turbine rather than sails..never been on one but seen a couple...

    For all you sailors

    I agree Cats have quite a small comfortable sailing envelope...( Dart especially so) Doesn't really perform until f4 but by a 6 is almost unmanageable . Part of problem is fact it doesn't plane...its top speed is virtually same in f5 as a f7...Its why we packed in with them...A good windsurf...

    Dart 18 is rather poor in lightwinds...sailing it fast ( in any conditions) is all about crew keeping nose down to keep waterline length as long as poss ( and windward hull just but only just flying)but if crew doesn't get back fast enough they can ( as me and daughter proved) pitch pole...ie...

    Hunter Medina is a cracking little boat...quite light and can carry quite as bit of sail...it will give good 25 footers a run for their money...Havent got room for one...but nice boat. Think its the Fox now ??? ( but could be wrong)

    Nobody can deny its existence just its locality...why in Palestine ? Because us and USA decided so in 1947 ? Rather tenuous??? Suppose they,d chosen Cornwall ? Charlie would be dischuffed ?

    Dart 15 is great but wont carry any weight...go for Dart 18...no more of a handful, just as easy to sail, works single handed...can even fix a little OB to it. Fantastic thing..loved mine..

    Afraid you are wrong on the long lived with diesel. There are oxidation, water and bug issues. Its probably the worst fuel to store long term ,unless treated with emulsifiers and antioxidants. This is especially case if used on common rail or any very high pressure systems. ( smallest amount of...
