Well they could have fitted some of those nice Recaro seats that all of the major football clubs seem to have nicked from rally cars

"Hmm, didn't just think for a bit that calling absolutely everyone who sails dinghies 'not as bright as the rest of us' delivered whilst seated in a dingy, might just be a tad ironical? Not a hint in the voice? No ? - Nevermind, hows the weather up there? "
Well yes, awash with irony, especially the entire concept of a windsurfer adding more rope systems to a dinghy. It seems I must apologise, for so much of your posting I am often unsure if you are oblivious to the irony or it is intended. The written word is not my best medium, one day it would be good to have a proper conversation, once I went as far south as Weymouth, how do you live with that many people? As for the weather, sun's still shining.

No, please don't apologise, you'll make me feel bad I took no offence from anything you might have said... If in doubt the sort of character I am, both here and in real life, I'd assume irony is in there somewhere.. ![]() ![]() |

I'm not sure what made me laugh more the 'blockundtackelhandler' (note 1), or the not so gentle mockery by GRF's daughters.
Note 1: A device featured in a Leslie Thomas novel for lowering a man onto a reclining woman whenever she requires. Until now never put into production.

So, here's the fall back scenario, the chicken loop hooks into a spreader bar shackled to the hull and everything works the way it used to.
![]() ![]() Bit of fun, or could it be a serious bonus, who knows, only one way to find out, racing it tomorrow afternoon. |

Won't it get knocked out of that hook a little too easily? Rather a strange angle, too?

Dunno it should be under tension, that's where I've been using it of late, had a traveller made from garden hose to stop the bloody rope engaging with the block during transitions, rear sheeting didn't do me any favours and it's been about as successful in that position as anything else I've tried. The only issue now i can foresee is my tendency to over sheet, but hopefully the 'feel' I'll get from the boom, which i miss so much, might compensate if I'm hooked in.
I've actually got another spreader hook with a blocking device to stop the spreader dropping out if it is an issue or there are things called donkey dicks that do the same thing. |

No doubt you are the proud owner of a number of donkey dicks ... |

Well, the mechanics looked flawed to me.
BUT. It's wednesday and honest injun, I'm interested to hear how it went in practice.
