Hum after a capsize last race at Salcombe my tacktick had gone dead
Can't find a contact number for tacktick do they still trade.  Any ideas welcome

They were bought by Raymarine a couple of years back. Try here or local dealer.

Thanks phoned them. They do a discounted replacement 150 plus vat.  Will do that

Cheers

Did better than me when you spoke to them then. I got politly told where to go!!

Megan,

I had a similar problem with mine - thought it had breathed its last - but what it needed was a damn good charging up by the sun. Apparently, even though you'd think sailing gives them enough sun-hours, dependent on the location in the boat, shadow of sails, etc, they run out of charge. Before any money changes hands, sit the thing in direct sunlight (as I type this in soggy Devon, I smile wryly) for at least one whole day and see if it comes back to life; mine did. If it doesn't, I've just typed a load of rubbish and I apologise for getting your hopes up!

Thanks will try the sunny thing first. Thursday looks good for that

The thought. Poke in the eye with a blunt stick.  Came to mind when I phoned raymarine

Chers

Same thing happened to me..  Yes Fulsunshine will sort it..

Had it there all afternoon not a spark yet

Woof woof

Man up and just buy a new one! If you can afford to race a Merlin Rocket you can afford a new one.

Nothing wrong with a bit of fiscal control.  I am Scottish

And I did.
