22/02/12 - The breezometer at the boatyard this morning is spinning like a spinny thing on a spinny day. It's certainly breezy. As well as the breeze it is raining hard too and will more than likely continue this way until later in the day when the wind might die down a bit.

Something Serious

Check out this story on the BBC News website, it's about how much time our Welsh RNLI crews spent on the water last year. Nearly 7000 hours on actual rescues, but added to that there was over 19,000 hours of training. If you aren't a member of the RNLI and you own a boat, you should be ashamed, it's not expensive to join and you never know when you'll need the boys from the Abersoch station. Join here.

We now have lots of RC Laser stock, which is selling well, so we have updated the Buy an RC Laser page. We also now have a featured product for February which is on the Spares & Accessories page.

Another video and some different photos. We have updated the RC Laser Gallery with a new video, which is a proper video, filmed on the water, and some recent photos.

Don't forget to check the Timcast for the latest up to date weather in Abersoch, it's updated daily and a more detailed boating Timcast will be back once the season starts.

Well that was definitely a weekend of two halves, Saturday was the calmest day we've seen in quite some time down here. Tim, Mrs Boatyard and Boatyard Dog decided it would be nice to go for a stroll over Llanbedrog Headland which is just a short walk from Boatyard HQ. Tim thought it might be nice to take his camera, and he managed to take some lovely shots which are shown below.

Sunday was a terrible day, Tim was up early to go and do some toy boating in the rain. Once that was done it was a quick trip to Holyhead to collect a new BBQ for Boatyard HQ. On the journey there was snow, hail, rain and fog, none of which make for a pleasant journey.

Now with added videos! - Tim has found out that it is actually quite easy to make a video on his computer and has added a couple of home made efforts to the site.

There is one on the RC Laser Gallery page, one on the Park & Launch page and some great Ocean Kayak video brochures on the Ocean Kayak page. Tim can't take credit for the Ocean Kayak videos, they were produced by our rep Justin, who also did the photos for the RC Laser video. He's a helpful chap!

Website progress - We are motoring along with the website as quickly as Tims tubby little fingers will allow us and have completed all our RC Laser pages. We have also added pages which detail our Park & Launch Service, Total Boat Management, our superb undercover storage facility and finally a page for the Ocean Kayak sit on top kayaks we supply in Abersoch.

Click any of the links to take a look at the page. There's more to come over the next week or so, so keep checking back

Its been a cold start to the week today. The temperature at Boatyard HQ was getting on for -2 degrees when we arrived for work. Annoyingly it is colder inside the shed than it is outside. Outside jobs it is today then! Hope you are all having a good day too, even though it is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year.

Awesome sunset. I think we might be in for a chilly night tonight. We have had quite a nice day here today, although it started poorly and improved mid morning and turned into a sunny light wind afternoon. Some RC Laser racing took place in the outer harbour this morning in quite breezy conditions.

Check out the sunset below, and if I've worked out how to do it properly you should be able to click on the thumbnail to see a bigger picture. Fingers crossed!

We're back!

We have all had a great Christmas and New Year break, Santa brought us some excellent gifts, Tim got a pair of socks, Huw recieved some hankerchiefs and Nicko got a new set of furry dice for his car.

We are all ready for the season and as I write this a tratcor is being prodded in the next shed.

If we can help you with anything boatyard related, no matter what, give us a call on 01758 713900 or drop Tim an Email and see how we can help.

We also hope you are enjoying our new website, it's coming together slowly, mainly due to Tim's sausage like fingers, but we are making progress and hope to have the majority of the new site up and running before the end of the month.

If there is anything you'd like to see on the site that we might have forgotten please drop us a line.

Park & Launch a go go!

Well we have 5 weeks until we crank up our newly fettled tractors for the 2012 Park & Launch season. We are hoping that the season will bring some great boating weather too so that everyone can get out on their boats more than last season. If you still haven't seen the light and you are getting your boat launched elsewhere, give us a call or drop us an email and we'll get you booked on to the yard for 2012. Take a look at our Park & Launch page for more details

Happy Valentines Day!

As well as being a day for buying pointless rubbish for your loved one and generally being too soppy for your own good today will be remembered as the day we launched our For Sale page on the website.

It's a pretty self explanatory page, you want to sell something down here in Abersoch and we can advertise it for you. We'll probably have more success advertising boaty type stuff, but if you need to sell you patio heater or even a bbq, send us some details and we'll stick it on the page of you!

A Boatshow, of sorts!

Having had some success with the RC Lasers Tim has now taken it upon himself to promote the class to a wider audience. With this in mind Tim and his bucket of enthusiasm will be helping out on the MYA stand at The Dinghy Show at Ally Pally on 3rd & 4th March.

The MYA is much like the RYA but for model yachts and has over 2000 members in more than 100 clubs accross the UK. We hope to promote not only the RC Laser that we love so much, but also the other classes sailed under the MYA umbrella. If you're in town pop along and say hello!
