Think Torquay, think hospitality and what do you get? The answer may not be what you have in mind, says Phil Sampson
NO 7 BISTRO AND WINE BAR
TORQUAY
Those of you who remember Fawlty Towers might be forgiven for tarring all hotels and restaurants on the English Riviera with the same disastrous brush... But as your restaurant reviewer, I am here to assure you that’s most certainly not the case. This month’s restaurant was recommended by MBY forum member,Terry Moss, who believes No 7 Bistro and Wine Bar in Torquay is well worth going out of your way for.
“We make a trip to the West Country every year and always plan a visit to Torquay just to go to No. 7 – it really is that good,” says Terry. “The attention to detail, the ambience, the food; we can’t fault it. We usually visit on our last evening and like to go relatively early so we can enjoy a drink in the upstairs wine bar and watch the sun setting over the harbour.”

TRIM A BOAT
Trimming your vessel correctly is vital for comfort, economy, seakeeping and ultimately safety. Good hull design usually requires very little trim from the helm to keep the ride comfortable. However, having the ability to affect the trim both fore and aft as well as side to side is great for altering the attitude of your boat to the sea. In a perfect world as you accelerate your well designed, perfectly balanced boat to its planing speed, the shape of the hull will naturally lift it onto the plane, allowing it to skim over the top of the water with the boat's weight supported evenly on the surface.
