	I have 1 Laser in my back garden, and 1 on the drive. Got no way of tying either boats down, so just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best!!!

	I have a feeling it'd have to be very strong wind to shift my Finn, it's so bloody heavy. Still it's tied down anyway to the chain in the dinghy park just to be safe.

	Im now feeling ever so glad we've left the B14 with the wings off! Might have been causing a UFO! The laser is nice and sheltered behind the garrage and a wall.
