NICK BURNHAM: I am now the proud owner of a Jeanneau Leader 805. But what to call her? I’m beginning to think this might be an even bigger decision than buying the thing
You join me at the time of writing, the proud owner of a Jeanneau Leader 805 that I’ve not actually seen since before I bought it. It’s an odd feeling – I’ve transferred a massive pile of cash to a broker 350 miles away and been assured that I now own the boat. But beyond a scanned emailed bill of sale, I don’t actually have anything to show for it (original title documentation is on its way, I’m promised).
Fortunately, I know the guys at Norfolk Yacht Agency and they’re an established broker, so I’m not overly concerned, although it is a little disquieting. I’ve arranged transport and the boat is due to show up here in about a fortnight’s time – I will feel better about it then.

HOW TO MARK YOUR ANCHOR
Anchoring in a pretty bay is one of boating’s greatest joys but it can also be a cause of considerable angst: How much chain should I put out? What’s the seabed like? Will I get stuck? What if I drag? Many of these concerns can be solved by laying the correct amount of cable (called scope) for the depth and conditions.
