I'm with you Sailmonkey, the last thing I ever want to hear is, "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you." ... never, never, never. Run as fast as you can in the opposite direction.

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Dredging of river sand in my part of the world is usually done...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize
