How did you lift that lot up there Rushy?

Must be two or three of you.

And please tell me that's not a Volvo..

Has it had corrective work on the indicators (so they work opposite).

I'm surprised there are no blades fitted to the wheels

Ha, you seem to have missed the jousting pole stuck to the side for clearing the way of those infernal motorbikes,

BTW, not my car but yes for safetys sake it takes 3 to lift on/off, car owner, also 100 owner has had a cradle/roof rack built for upside down transport, it looks slightly less precarious!

First time I've seen a car / boat on roof rack combination where the boat actually makes the car look better - cool even.

Maybe come up with a username that doesn't leave you a hostage to change of class/sail number?

My quest to be able to afford my new boat moved forwards one step tonight, just sold the laser that I am named after on this forum.

Probably should change my name but i dont know my 100 sail number yet so can't do it now!

There you go, one wishbone rig on a dinghy, 1980's style. Not sure I'd back it against a 100 rig on the efficiency and adjustability front...

Fun boat to sail, mind, when it isn't broken.
