Thanks for your welcomes. The forum has already proved invaluable in helping me fix a recalcitrant
outboard and will no doubt continue to provide a lot of help and advice.
Our boat ( nee Tara soon to be Gem) is on the point of being sailed. I am currently constructing an A frame to drop the
mast so I can complete a few tasks (tangled halliard due to hurried launch, luff guide requiring silicone and a new
jib halliard to enable the
furler to be used). Last week we cleaned the gas pipe and got the
stove working as well as modding and fitting some slides into the
furler ready for the (also modded)
jib snaps.
Now we just need the
weather (and the time) :-)
