    Does anyone think it's worth creating a bargain alerts/recommendations thread for buying gear?

    And @ fergalb would that be ok?

    I just fear that it'd only gather cobwebs - in my experience, sailing/boating bargains are like hen's teeth :D

    But I'm all for it!

    I hear Spar will be selling marine pot noodle in select areas for only 4.50 a tub, tastes the same as regular pot noodle but with a toughened container to withstand the harsh marine environment and comes with a sachet of snake oil that's supposed to help keep you safe at sea

    Just got a 5L Drum of TC-W3 2-stroke off the same crowd above for €25. Maybe the site is out of date or they charge more for online? Even for 33 its not bad
