Concerning how to get a Handbook … they are issued to all members.

Chris, I can suggest one vary sound reason for sticking with a Sabre - your keel(s) won't fall off. That problem seems to be afflicting an increasing number of modern yachts (names including Jeanneau, Beneteau, Oyster and others) so it is not an unreasonable concern.

Nick, I cannot see a Trident in the film.

When converting the headsail to roller reefing there are lots of possible complications. First, the chosen roller gear will restrict the length of the jib luff (at both tack and head).

As a separate issue, the system does not seem to accept jpgs unless they are cropped or compressed to about 200kB. I imagine that thi...

I don't know if this will help, but on London Apprentice we fitted additional, short stanchions on the cockpit coaming. They were mounted on cantilever brackets (formed by cutting an alloy cleat in half) so that they push the guardrail further outboard. If they were mounted further forward on the co...
