and especially when you come back from an open at sea and you can say you are purposely capsizing to remove the salt

You see sailing on "puddles" have their advantages.
 ....No salt here

Can you post a copy of the letter, please, Hurricane? My boat's seizing up - buckets can only rinse so much. The way I see it, the resources we have in Kent are finite; we can choose to maintain the status quo and enjoy a nice lifestyle including rinsing our boats (note we're catching up again now the rain has started falling), or we can skimp and save to permit more housing to be built and put more still more pressure on infrastructure. "If you'd all stand a bit closer, we can fit a few more in...." |

i think u will find your clubs have acted without need as sailing boats are allowed to use water for maintance! we have a copy of the letter from the water company attached to our taps! i would start asking your club for the hoses back!!! |

Surely there is nothing to stop you filling a bucket from the tap and then throwing it on your boat?! Just don't use a hosepipe!

Along a similar vein - what are people doing about rinsing their deck hardware when there is a ban on hoses? This has just come in where I am and I am worried that all the blocks on my boat are going to get destroyed by salt crystals that stay in them. I have always hosed these items very carefully after sailing and now I can't?? |
