Possibly - the Portishead Cruising Club have a ridiculously cheap deal enshrined by law. At the moment it is 2 weeks in the marina for decommission/commission, a lift and launch, and 6 months in the Parish Wharf compound for.......about £80 (IIRC). They have to pay for leccy though.

Not that I am complaining, because I qualify for the same deal if I want because I live in the parish

I'll post one then....

What happens if you are fitting your rudder at 11pm, and trying to get the bolts for the rudder shoe to line up with the hole in the hull, and you are using black sikaflex?

PS Snow Petrel is back in the water at last I had a small window of opportunity to get access with the hoist, so after a late night after work and early morning fitting the rudder, prop and seacocks, I launched at 7am. Yippee

Once again Graham gets the answer right!

Over to you


PS Got most of the engine wiring finished today (Another quiz question....how come you never run sufficient conduit and always have to drill another hole? )
