Hello, and thanks for your earlier reply.

On the tender front I have a 3m lightweight rib which I used as a tender on my previous powerboat, where it sat neatly on the bating platform.

I guess that this would be a good tender for a sailboat also but where would I keep it ?, it has steering and a permenantly fitted engine so is heavy to lift, probably about 100kg. Are davits an option on a sailboat ??
