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??

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!

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!!!

lifes to short to sail slow boats!
