Hi Paul, She is strong alright - I have sailed mine in some very testing conditions indeed amd they cut the water well in the biggest of swells + I have not...
Thanks Mike, yes masthead rigged, not measured the length yet but it looks like a short rig. Sprayhood will be fitted later in season - I will probably make a...

Len My old Angus Primrose Apache 'Surfdancer' and I spent my last year on the Tamar in a 'yard' at South Hooe Farm just to the west of Bere Alston. I can't now...
Me again! Another thought about the Upper Tamar would be the boatyard at Cotehele House. AFAIK the National Trust only make it available to available to people...
Hello there I am purchasing a new 5HP Honda Outboard for a Mk 2 Corribee. Will the standard or long shaft be the best option to go for. Sailing on coastal ...
Hi Rob, I would say go for the long shaft, standard or short shaft has to be too low on the transom to obtain correct depth position thus making it harder to...
Hi Rob Based on my (fairly limited) experience definitely a long shaft. I bought a Tohatsu 5 hp last season and in terms of power it is fine. However even with...
Ken, Same problem...I don't think there is a solution to this problem, apart from an inboard engine,even quite low in the water my outboard can leave the water...
Hi All, I have been contemplating doing away with the engine well on my Coromandel, and fitting a inboard or outboard, the inboard option is just too costly...

Rob, Long shaft all day long. Check out the starting system on the Honda, It is probelmatic for me - you have to pull the cord gently until the starter wheel...
I have posted some photos of Sea Bee. Sunday Jan 14th saw some checking of electrics! Took along my circuit tester and crimping kit but everything I touched...
Hi all, there is a vertical pull starter mod/kit for the 6,8 and 10hp Honda enginges. I have a new kit that came with 8hp I bought (and sold too heavy!) and I...
Hi Len, Would be very interested to hear if this works, I feel the exsiting starter system is badly designed - and the replacement wheels are £20 a go. Can...
Hi Mike, don't think a electric starter is on the caeds but it is a thought. as to the vertical pull start, it is very simple, I will take some a photo of it...
Hi All, I note all the problems with o/b's and brackets, also o/b wells, it seems that for each one there is two downsides. I painted mine with Plastimo...
Hi Mark, I would not start cutting out the the back back of the outboard well, unless you reinforce the transom above the new cutout and also the original...
Don't worry Len, it was said tongue in cheek! But the obvious answer to o/b's and where to stick them is not here yet, I'll sit on the side line for a bit...

My 'thinking' is a bit too lateral, that's why I haven't made up my mind, all I see is problems with whichever way I do it. So I wait until the light bulb...
I've just had a phone call from a previous owner of my Corribee 2 'Sea Bee'. He bought her around 1975 and sailed her as 'Patricia' for 25 years!!!! He has...
Hi Paul, don't think changing the name is a problem as long as you do it the correct way! You must have the boat on the sea and say the text below. "Oh mighty...
Hi Paul, I forgot to add that you must also remove any papers, logbook, charts and anything else that bears the old name of the boat ashore and remove the name...
