SHETLAND OWNERS ASSOCIATION

Hi Michael

I bought a Shetland Blackhawk last year as my first boat, which just about satisfies all of your requirements and would leave you with a tidy sum to renovate, upgrade all and sundry. I have a Shogun 3.2 LWB (which tows virtually everything) and have trailer ed my boat up a few steep ...

Hi There

I am also relatively new to boating as I have only been out a few times (Scottish sea lochs) myself. However, safety rules and in my opinion, even though you are chomping at the bit, it is unwise to go out without a backup engine. I also had problems with my main engine and had to rely on ...

Hi There

I was in a hurry and bought fully comp. insurance for my 1980's Black Hawk, with a Suzuki DT65 and Suzuki 4HP Aux, twin wheeled trailer, (which included towing) and stored originally in a secure caravan hard standing through SAGA. I paid £128 which seemed reasonable to me at the time. As ...

Hi There

I am also relatively new to the site and boating/towing. I have a SuzukiDT65 on my Black Hawk which weighs approx 110kg (found weight on web) and if you add all the bits and bob's you might take on a trip you will be pulling a fair old chunk of weight. At present, I have a 3.2 Shogun LWB ...

I just posted another "help" re the best sparkplugs for my Suzuki DT65, 2 ...

Hi There

Does anyone know of any useful apps. I could put on my Nokia Lumia 720 mobile, that would assist someone of my limited sailing experience, to keep as safe as possible while out and about on the Scottish sea lochs.

I have ventured out twice on Loch Fyne since I acquired my Black Hawk and ...

Hi There

I am also a newbie both to the Assoc and to boating apart from a brief experience with an inflatable 3.2M Seapro which was both scary and fun on the Scottish West Coast sea lochs. I have now acquired a Shetland Blackhawk 19, Skint Again, circa 1979/80 which I hope to get out on Loch Fyne ...

Hi All

I am new to the forum and also relatively new (had a Seapro 3.8m inflatable for a year = 3 trips on the water) to boating. I was wondering when my Black Hawk was built - the plate on the stern has the following info stamped on it: 19-418-LON00200 and 418 on a Shetland plate below the ...
