Your biggest worry will be that the powers that be will decide the surrounding area should be made into a scenic park with big trees and in 5 years the winds will be shifty and none existent...... seen that one at a few clubs already.

Can't be worse than where I am based at the moment, Sheffield Vikings SC which is set deep in a valley - fantastic sail if the wind blows directly up or down, any other direction and you get 180 degree shifts, massive holes, new random breezes filling in from nowhere, and lots of teabagging. Last week was notable for me being overtaken by a Topper on the way to the w/ward mark, I was beating but he was on a broad reach about 6 feet from me!

How are you getting on with the 600, have you had a chance to sail it much yet?

Good job Ive nothing usefull to do till I get a job. Does anyone have any bright ideas how to remove a pair of neoprene shorts, they won't budge!! One recons Mummy's going to be terribly dissapointed.

Drain cleaner ( caustic soda ) will dissolve the aluminium.
Then you need a new bit of ally, but this will prevent corrosion and splitting the mast which will happen with the existing one ( which is obviously already corroding and expanding )

Why put Al and C in contact, with sea water??

also a problem on RS800 masts at the hounds.
