5.0 out of 5 stars Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 Discovery Book - Quite a discovery!,
This review is from: The LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 Discovery Book (Paperback)
The building and programming instructions that come with the original LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0 set are nice, but contain only 4 models and basic programming instructions for those. After finishing those models I wanted more and this book is just the thing.
It contains very clear printed instructions for the models it explains (I personally prefer that to having to sit in front of my PC while building) it provides explanations of how the programming blocks work in a much easier to understand format than the NXT-G help files (it feels like someone takes you by the hand to personally show you around instead of having to dig your way through the documentation) and goes way beyond what you learn in the instructions that come with the NXT set by explaining how to use wires to pass data between blocks.
Rather than just telling you how to put the programming blocks together the book teaches you how the program works using easy to understand diagrams.
Last but not least, the book contains a considerable number of interesting robots that are fun to build and additional challenges to expand on them. To make this even easier, there is a companion website where you can ask questions and propose solutions.
I really like the first and last pages on the book (inside cover and inside back cover) which provide you with a reference chart to easily identify parts of different lengths and a complete inventory of the NXT 2.0 set.

This review is from: The LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 Discovery Book (Paperback)
If you have bought a Lego Mindstorms set over the last year, the chances are that it has been the NXT 2.0 kit. The previous 1.0 kit is increasingly hard to find. The problem is that many of the resources in the Internet and in Lego Mindstorms books has to date been largely based on the previous kit which has a different range of parts, and which also has an earlier (although compatible) version of the software. Thus the release of Lauren Valk's new book is welcome not least for the fact that it is fairly and squarely based on the NXT 2.0 8547 set.
The book describes itself as a beginner's guide to building and programming robots. It certainly fulfils this function and is an excellent guide to all of the features incorporated in the NXT 2.0 software. It starts by giving clear instructions for the building of an explorer robot with which to explore the fundamentals of writing a simple program, and the reader is quickly able to drive the robot forwards, backwards and to make simple turns. Right from the start the reader is encouraged to experiment and throughout the book there are numerous suggestions for tasks that can be tried, all of which will increase the readers confidence, experience and problem solving skills.
The early programs are enhanced with the addition of sound and visual output using the built in speaker and screen on the NXT brick. A following chapter introduces the use of the wait block and also simple loops, as well as the ability to perform parallel program sequences that can happen simultaneously. Also introduced at this stage is the use of the "my block" facility whereby the user can create their own program blocks containing a sequence of blocks which can then be incorporated into other programs. All of this occupies the first 50 pages of this 300 page book.
In the second section of the book, the explorer robot is then modified to include a range of sensors. First the ultrasonic sensor is added to enable the robot to "see" where it is going, and programs are developed to help it avoid obstacles. These are fully detailed, and again open-ended extra tasks are suggested for the reader to experiment with.
Bumpers are then added to utilise the two touch sensors, and all the while, the programs and optional tasks become more ambitious as the reader gains in confidence. The sensor section completes by introducing the colour sensor, which is mounted on the explorer, and the reader is taken through several tasks including the development of a line following program. The use of the buttons on the NXT brick as well as the rotation sensors built in to the motors is also fully explored.
At this stage the reader has completed 85 pages, and Laurens moves on to complete the second section of the book by introducing a couple of more meaty projects, starting with building the shot-roller - a robot defence system. Full clear building instructions enable the reader to construct this robot, and here it should be said that although the book is in black and white, I had no difficulty in following the process, and the book even has a look up diagram on the front inside colour which lets you see the particular shade of grey that each coloured piece is represented by. In this section details are given on the use of the programming palettes in the software and the use of the colour lamp and motor block. The main shot-roller program is then developed with full explanations at every stage. Alternatives for an intruder alarm and for a remote control mode are also explored. I found this project to be great fun! As a parting shot (forgive the pun) Laurens invites the reader to explore how far the shooter can shoot as the angle of the turret is changed. Also to explore adding the ultrasonic sensor to the robot, and also, in a very open-ended way to explore making a catapult in conjunction with other non-lego parts such as rubber bands and plastic spoons. The second project in the first section of the book is Strider: a novel six-legged walking creature. Here I should say that throughout the book I was very impressed with the many novel and original building techniques that Laurens employs in these robots. There are many examples of very interesting ways of mounting motors and the NXT brick, and I look forward to incorporating some of them in my own future designs. Strider is based on an unusual triangular frame. After a discussion on the walking mechanism employed the program is developed to produce a walking robot, enhanced with coloured lights. As by now the reader is accustomed, there follow a range of investigations, including producing a version which can walk in six directions, or a version which is afraid of a light and stops walking when illuminated, or a further version which speeds up the brighter the light shining on it.
The third section of the book is entitled Creating Advanced Programs. This uses a test bed called Smart-Bot which builds a small platform with two motors and some sensors with which to explore advanced techniques. One motor has the light sensor mounted on it, so that it can be angled at different heights. The other has a wheel attached that can be used to rotate the motor to allow rotational inputs to be made and measured. A touch sensor and the ultrasonic sensor complete the line up. Once the bot is built, the use of data-hubs is introduced, and a range of investigations show how sensors motors and the NXT display can be connected so that they can interact by the use of data wires. Further chapters introduce the use of data wires with loops, switches and logic elements, interesting investigations involving the use of random sounds or the control of a light by means of two buttons. This section is drawn together by the development of a simple reaction game using the NXT screen and left and right buttons, complete with on screen scoring.
At this stage the reader should be proficient at all of the programming techniques available on the NXT brick, using the supplied software. The fourth section of the book, which consists of the final 100 pages or so, contains three major advanced robot projects. Snatcher is an autonomous robot arm, which has an ingenious arm and jaws assembly which requires just one motor to operate it, unlike the normal two, and this leaves the remaining two motors to drive the supporting platform. The robot incorporates the ultrasonic sensor which detects the position of the objects to be grabbed, the colour sensor to detect their colour, and a push button sensor to detect when the arm is in the fully elevated position. This was a very neat robot, which was a pleasure to build, and, in keeping with the rest of the book, the accompanying program was developed and tested piece by piece. As ever, three subsidiary projects were suggested for the reader to pursue.
A hybrid brick sorter formed the second of the three advanced projects. This requires the user to obtain a small number of extra coloured lego bricks (2x2 and 2x4 studs) that are sorted by the robot. Once again the construction details were very clear, and the design was very elegant, particularly the way in which the wheel motor and the lock motor are mounted. The logic for the program is clearly illustrated and it is developed in a modular fashion with separate "my blocks". Four further exploration projects are suggested using the robot.
The final project is scary! You build a compact chimney climber. This robot climbs the space between two parallel walls about 32cm apart. The ultrasonic sensor detects when it reaches the top and it then descends to the ground again. The potential for catastrophe seemed to be only too apparent, but by this stage I knew that the model would be well engineered in keeping with the other excellent robots in the book, and also that the program would be well developed. There were plenty of warnings about keeping your hands under the robot as it climbed, or using a cushion in case it fell, but in the event I found that the system performed very well, and it was certainly impressive watching the robot climb up the space. I was even confident enough to modify the program with a small improvement. Even for this robot there were suggestions for further exploration, such as programming in an altimeter, or building an aerial tram!
In conclusion this book is a real gem. If you want to learn how to program using the Lego NXT 2 supplied software this book will teach you how, and if you follow the various discovery paths you will end up able to develop and adapt your own programs with confidence. You will also see some very elegant robot designs, and pick up some building techniques that will enable you to start designing your own robots.
The book has an accompanying website which at the time of writing has downloads for all the main programs and for many of the discovery projects. There are plans to extend the website with a user forum and various other sections over the coming months. There are contact details for the author, and from personal experience I know that he is happy to discuss and comment on issues that may arise from the book. Although the book is called a beginners guide I think that anyone, no matter what their experience of Lego Mindstorms is, will find this book very worthwhile to work through. I can thoroughly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Purchase for Mindstorms NXT,
This review is from: The LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 Discovery Book (Paperback)
I've had a Mindstorms NXT 1.0 kit since it came out and while I've enjoyed building projects with it I've struggled to find a way to get my kids (9 years old) involved under their own steam, until I brought this book. NXT 2.0 Discovery Book takes you by the hand right from the start and walks you through everything you need to know to build your own robots, starting with a very simple Logo Turtle style robot right up to a colour sorting robot. Everything is explained in detail and is interesting to look at, I think I've had to help my kids twice when they got stuck, pretty good considering the subject matter.
While this book is aimed at NXT 2.0 it will work with 1.0 assuming you buy the extra touch sensor and the new colour sensor, I'd also recommend getting the latest software as well. A couple of the builds need minor adaptations to work with the static components from 1.0 but nothing a reasonably competent Lego builder can't handle.
The book covers everything from how the sensors work, loops, and even data wires/hubs. Only thing its missing is more advanced stuff on dynamic programming but then that's more than covered by other (advanced) books and needs additional hardware anyway.
Essential purchase for all new Mindstorm NXT owners.

4.0 out of 5 stars ok to begin with,
This review is from: The LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 Discovery Book (Paperback)
this book describes the basics of the equipment you could find in Lego Mindstorm package. I bought two books: that one + Inventor's Guide. My son (12 year old) switched to the second one very quickly leaving the Discovery Book behind. He says that was ok to start with but when you are making more complicated projects you hardly ever have to come back to the foundations described there.
5.0 out of 5 stars If you're into Mindstorms NXT 2.0' it's a must have.,

CONTAINER Filed Aug. 14, 1968 INVENTORS.
w R058 E. BARTH a JOHN T. VIERS AT TO R NEYS United States Patent O 3,487,921 CONTAINER Ross E. Barth, Euclid, and John T. Viers, Macedonia,
Ohio, assignors to Crawford Fitting Company, Solon,
Ohio, a corporation of Ohio Filed Aug. 14, 1968, Ser. No. 752,585 Int. Cl. B65d 85/62 US. Cl. 20665 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to a container for housing a precision instrument or apparatus of delicate construction. The container has upper and lower portions and disposed in each portion is shell means which is shaped to surround the instrument and hold it cushioned in place, immovably spaced from the upper and lower portions of the container. The shell may be molded to any desired shape to encompass any particular instrument.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Packages for instruments of the type with which this invention is particularly concerned, quick connect couplings, are intended to cushion the closely machined coupling component in a substantially fixed position, thus to prevent impact damage, contamination by dust or disengagement of the coupling nut under the influence of vibration during shipping. Also, it is desirable that the container be partially transparent to allow a prospective purchaser to observe the fitting on display and to permit ready inspection of the fitting for inventory purposes. Additionally, it is important that the package be designed to be as universally applicable as possible, such that it may accommodate quick connect components having any one of a number of different sized coupling nuts.
The particular combination of features required to meet these parameters is not to be found in the prior art, which contains various kinds of specialized packages, particularly packages of a general type which are adapted to contain vials of medicines, delicate instruments such as relays, stabilizers or surveying equipment, or various vibration sensitive electron tubes. Thus, a definite need has been met by this invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention comprises a container for packaging a coupling component and includes a box having two halves hinged together along one edge. Snap lock latching means are provided on an opposite side or edge of the box for the purpose of locking the two halves together at desired times.
Disposed within the box are two substantially identical shell means, one in each half, and each of which substantially fills the half in which it lies. Depressions or hollows are formed in each shell means and oppose or face one another when the box is closed so as together to form a multi-chambered recess adapted to hold a coupling component.
A plurality of the chambers are adapted to surround the component rather closely and cushion it in place. The third chamber, which is relatively larger than the others, is adapted to envelop a portion of the component which may, from piece to piece, vary substantially in dimension. The box includes at least one half which is transparent, and the shell means disposed in that half is of similar properties. This construction is intended to permit one to observe the coupling component on display and, for inventory purposes particularly to ascertain its size and character without the necessity for unpackaging the component.
Patented Jan. 6, 1970 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container which incorporates the principles of this invention and having a coupling component received therein;
FIG. 2 is an elevational view, partially in section, of the container of FIG. 1 broken along lines 2-2;
FIG. 3 is an elevational view of the container as it is about to be closed, broken along lines 44 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an elevational view similar to FIG. 3, but showing the container closed, and again broken along lines 4-4 of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the container in open position.
PREFERRED EMBODIMENT This invention comprises a container for packaging a coupling device and more particularly a quick connect component. The container includes a box 10 having an upper portion or half 12 and a lower portion or half 14. The two portions are hinged together at 16 and this connection may be accomplished by the use of one or a plurality of hinges as desired. A satisfactory arrangement, as shown in FIG. 5, incorporates complimentary ball and socket type hinges 13 and 15 at two locations along adjacent edges of the box portions 12 and 14.
In this respect, each of the substantially identically shaped portions 12 and 14 has side walls 18 which project one toward the other when the portions are in closed position, as seen in FIG. 4. Each side wall termi nates in an edge 20 which abuts a corresponding seat of the other portion when the container is closed. As can be seen, the edges 20 on each portion terminate, in the illustrated embodiment substantially within the same plane, though this need not be the case. Also, while the upper and lower portions are identical in this embodiment, it is contemplated that the portions 12 and 14 could be of diverse depths.
Disposed within each portion of the box is a shell means 22. The shell means serves the function of encompassing the coupling component 24 and of cushioning it tightly in place within the closed container. In shipping, it is not desirable to permit the component to bounce unrestrainedly since its parts may as a result hecome disassembled or damaged.
Each shell means 22 substantially fills the portion 12 or 14 in which it is respectively disposed and includes a bracing section 26 and a facing section 28. Each bracing section 26 comprises semi-rigid legs or walls which extend substantially the depth of the portion in which the shell means is received. Each leg is disposed in substantially parallel juxtaposition with a corresponding side wall 18 of the portion in which the shell means is carried. The facing section 28 of each shell means includes a planar extension 30 which is substantially co-planar with edge 20 of the box portion within which such shell means is disposed.
A depression or hollow 32 is provided substantially in the center of each of the planar extensions 30. This hollow 32 comprises multiple chambers in interconnecting relationship as best seen in FIG. 5. In the illustrated form, the several chambers are annular and proportioned such that they are of progressively increasing size from smallest chamber 34 to intermediate chamber 36 to largest chamber 38.
The smallest chamber 34 is defined by a pair of semicylindrical surfaces 35, one provided in each of the shell means 22. These surfaces oppose or face one another when the container is closed, and thus together form a cylindrical surface which is adapted to receive the stem of the coupling component in a rather close surrounding relationship.
Turning now to chamber 38 (which is formed by a pair of cooperating surfaces 39 in the same manner as previous chambers) it will be noted that this depression is of a size considerably larger than the coupling nut which it is adapted to receive. To understand the significance of this arrangement, one must first recognize that the stern of this type of coupling component is of uniform dimension throughout a range of coupling sizes. This is also true of the section which is intermediate the stem and the coupling nut of the component. The coupling nut itself, however, will vary in size from component to component depending upon the diameter of the fluid line with which the particular component is adapted to be used.
Intermediate chamber 36 is much like chamber 34, but somewhat larger. A pair of semi-cylindrical surfaces 37, one in each shell means, cooperate to form with one another a cylindrical chamber 36 which intimately surrounds the intermediate section of component 24 when the container is closed.
By use of the construction described, it is possible to use a single container for shipping components having any one of a number of different sized coupling nuts. This plural nut size accommodation feature produces a universality which permits the'shipper to purchase but one size container for use with a plurality of different sized coupling components of the general type for which the container was designed. The result is a significant saving in terms of money, stocking space and inventory control.
The shell means 22 as shown is very light in weight and inexpensive to manufacture. The space between the various bracing sections 26 is shown as being completely void but, for specific applications, a foamed plastic of some sort could be deposited in the void for additional strength. However, this would add to the cost, and unless a heavy component is to be shipped, the shell means illustrated will ordinarily be adequate. By constructing the chamber 38 such that it measures up to approximately greater in span than chamber 36, adequate clearance for a plurality of nut sizes will be available.
The fact that at least one of the box portions (as well as its corresponding shell means) is transparent produces an important advantage because this allows the seller of the coupling component to place the component on display without additional operations and this results in a relatively significant saving in labor cost. Moreover, this feature is also important from an inventory control standpoint since the characteristics of the component may readily be ascertained without the necessity of opening the container.
Another significant economy factor in this very competitive field is that the identical portions of the box allow for identical portions of a shell means 22. In other words, there is no way for the assembler to become confused and mismate a specific shell means and box portion. Each shell means will fit each box portion and this interchange ability allows for greater speed in assembly.
The latch means 40 (shown best in FIGS. 1 and 5) is illustrated as a snap lock, a pair of complementary locking members being provided, one on each portion of the box. This is shown merely by way of illustration and any particular type of latch means found to be convenient may be used.
In order best to hold and cushion the coupling 24 in position within the container, it has been found that chambers 34 and 36 respectively, must be made slightly under size relative to the sections of the component with which they are to mate. This structure is illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4. In FIG. 4, the planar extensions are shown angled slightly inward. The fitting component 24, being rigid and slightly larger than the chambers 34 and 36, flexes or deforms the shell means 22 and the result is that shell means 22 resiliently grips the component, exerting thereupon a peripheral tension.
While the principles of the invention have been disclosed in but a single preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those having ordinary skill in the art that many modifications and changes may be made in that embodiment without departing from the true spirit of the invention. It is therefore not intended that the terms used in the specification nor the single illustrated preferred embodiment be considered limiting. Rather, it is intended that the invention be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.
The invention claimed is:
1. A container for packaging a part comprising:
a box with upper and lower portions, each portion having side walls terminating in edges, said portions being connected by hinge means;
latch means for locking said portions closed with the edges of one portion proximate the edges of the other portion; and.
shell means within said portions having bracing sections and facing sections, said bracing sections being juxtaposed substantially parallel to the side walls of said box, said facing sections forming planar extensions and hollows, said hollows substantially conforming to the shape of a part which said container is adapted to receive; each shell means substantially filling the portion in which it is received, the planar extension of each shell means lying substantially in a plane passing through the edge portion it fills, the hollow being dimensioned smaller than a section of said part whereby the portions encompass the part under peripheral tension when the container is closed, thus substantially to prevent movement of the part relative to said portions and hold it spaced from contact with said box.
2. The container of claim 1 wherein one Portion of said box is transparent and the shell and attendant bracing section disposed in that portion are also transparent.
3. The con ainer of claim 1 wherein the hollows of the shell means together form multiple connecting chambers.
4. The container of claim 3 wherein one of said multiple chambers is approximately 25 percent larger than another.
5. The container of claim 4 wherein at least one of said multiple chambers is of annular shape, and further wherein the largest chamber is of a substantially rectangular shape.
6. The container of claim 5 wherein one portion of said box is transparent and the shell means and attendant bracing sections disposed in that portion are also transparent.
7. The container of claim 1 wherein the shell means are each of substantially identical shape.

New report argues for-profit sector is not producing the kinds of health care professionals that are really needed.
At accreditation meeting, Education Dept. official says rules on how vocational programs prepare students for "gainful employment" will change "significantly."
SAN FRANCISCO -- The assistant U.S. secretary of education for postsecondary education has been meeting with higher education associations to encourage them to find a way to speak with "one voice" and reshape public understanding of the role of colleges.
Leading Democrat blasts for-profit colleges; U.S. affirms $5,500 maximum Pell Grant; no earmarks in 2011 and 2012.
Author who popularized idea that technological innovation disrupts industries' established powers applies theory to higher education -- with warning to traditional colleges.
Leaders of dozens of regionally accredited career colleges meet -- not to plot strategy, but to talk about educating students.
WASHINGTON -- They'll have to wait until some time today for the actual vote, and the satisfaction that comes then may be fleeting, because the provision faces almost certain defeat in the Senate and would be unlikely to survive a veto from President Obama if it got through.
But based on last night's goings-on in the House of Representatives, supporters of for-profit colleges seem destined to enjoy at least a temporary legislative victory made possible by the reshaping of the political landscape in November's elections and by the sector's overpowering lobbying campaign.
New GAO report recommends further oversight of Defense Department's Tuition Assistance Program.
Career colleges shoot down plan to cut awards to their students, but new restriction would limit funds going to institutions with high loan default rates.

You Should Watch
Location: Los Angeles CA USA
By: Christian Duguay
When I was nine years old, I lived in the Arizona desert. On walks home from my bus stop, I would cut through a field of cactus and dry brush, and think about God and Heaven. I didn't grow up in a religious family and we never talked about God, but I always knew He was there. There was never any doubt.
As I grew older, however, I fell away from my talks with God, and I stopped my prayers. My faith waned and my heart hardened with the wrong groups of kids and sinful desires.
But, my faith is back now. One thing that always helps bring me back, when I have a weakness of faith, is something that happened during one afternoon walk through the desert. As I wandered along a narrow path through some olive trees and sage brush , a little voice in my head said, "You should watch for snakes." This voice was not a thought. We all know the pattern of our own thoughts. We recognize them as being self-generated. But this voice was not mine. I looked down to see a long rattlesnake stretched out, directly in my path, warming itself in the hot sun. I froze, terrified. For a long moment I couldn't move - scared of the snake, but also petrified that something had just spoken to me.
One could call it a coincidence. People who walk through the desert are always watching out for snakes - this just happened to be an instance when there was one lying in my path. Here's the thing: It happen a split second before I stepped on it. The voice was not mine. I believe it was an angel. I will always be grateful to the angel who spoke to me. Not just for the safety he or she provided me at that moment, but for the faith that moment has instilled in me. And there is meaning in that warning: "You should watch out for snakes."
Indeed, we should watch out for them, and we should watch out not to let ourselves become one.
Some may never see with earthly eyes these heavenly beings or know that they exist. Many are unaware of the numerous ways they have protected and guided us. We would like to share with you the stories of people who take pleasure in expressing how real angels are.

Comments about Samsonite® Aramon NXT iPad Lightweight Sleeve, Black:
The dimensions claim to be 11.875" H x 1.02" W x 10" D but they were only 8.5 x .75 x 10. I had bought it for a small notebook and based on the dimensions presented it should have fit easily. It should be great for an ipad, but that is not what I have. Staples was great in how they handled the return.

Option 1 - Club racing - I'm going to take Birkenhead MYPBC as an example here, there are a number of members (15+) that have established a fleet of DF65's at the club and they have decided that they will allow use of an A rig and a B rig only but they have allowed aftermarket sails. If it is windy enough for a C rig they'll chat and drink coffee which suits them down to the ground! They have allowed radio gear to be changed and other mods to be done in accordance with the DF65 class rules.
Total cost - Boat, A & B suit, B rig kit. - £229.00
Option 2 - The Full Monty - If like me you fancy mixing it with the big guns of the RG65 fleet then you are going to need the C rig on top of the A & B rigs.
Total cost - as option 1 + C rig kit & Sails - £282.00
I have not included the cost of rechargeable battery packs or up specced radio gear in these costings, but as a rough guide you should have two battery packs (£16 each from us). If you want to upgrade the radio gear then you can spend from about £50 upwards. You might want some rig bags (£5 each for A, B & C from us) and perhaps a few other trinkets to have about you but you won't need much.
The above costings are based on the Housemartin Sails that we supply.
Option 3 - Lets say you are completely new to the sport of Radio Sailing and want to go the full monty, change radio gear etc, with your first boat then what will your cost be ? I'll base this cost on what I sailed with at the Nationals.
Boat (without radio gear) - £135.00
B & C Rig kits - £60.00
A, B & C suits from Graphite - £105.00
2 x Battery Packs - £28.00
New radio gear (Futaba T6J) inc rx - £150.00
Total cost - £478.00
I placed fifth in the 2013 Dragon Force Nationals, more down to my sailing ability than my choice of equipment! This was only my second twin sail event having usually sailed an RC Laser I found there was much more tuning to be done with the DF65.
As mentioned radio gear is available from around £50 so you could take £100 off the price of my boat straight from the get go and be at £378.00.
Option 4 - You buy the boat and two extra rig kits (£150 + £60) and then you spend £40 on some materials and you have a go at making your own sails. The rules say you can and that would get you a fully kitted boat with all three rigs for £250.00
Latest News
17th February 2015
Many of you may know that Mrs Boatyard, Emily, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia last month and has been undergoing a course of treatment at Ysbyty Gwynedd since the 19th January. This has left Tim looking after Phoebe and as such he hasn't been into work too much recently. Nicko and Dave are busy getting things sorted for the upcoming season and if you've got a caravan with us it will be back on site when you need it however they don't always have time to answer the phone in between cups of tea and pie eating so the most reliable way to get hold of us at the moment is to drop an email to Tim. He will answer these within 24 hours. Thank you for your patience at this difficult time.
13th January 2015
Back to it! - Happy New Year to you all, it's been a busy time here at the moment. We are back at work now and dealing with lots of great enquiries for the forthcoming season here at the Boatyard. As well as this we are continuing to develop the radio sailing side of the business which keeps us more than a little occupied during the winter months. All the big boats are tucked away in our undercover storage shed and the tractors are getting a well earned rest and a some much needed maintenance over the winter months.
We are planning to commence our 2015 P&L season on the 28th March, we have some big tides the week before and with these coinciding with the spring equinox it seems sensible to leave the boats where they are until these have passed! We also realise that this might be the Easter holidays for some of you so if you know you want your boat out for that weekend please let us know.
