 Saw it advertised in the side bar, available for something like £40 so a good xmas idea if you have no garage to dry kit in! |

Maybe 'practically minded' would be a better euphemism

When looking for my new boat .........and having spent ages avoiding Lasers with hatches, I'm suddenly confronted with a really good reason for having a hatch.........grrrrrrr Nigel  ------------- I am the milkman of human kindness, I will leave an extra pint (Billy Bragg) Graduate 2530 'Galaxy' |

I use a bit of string, works just as well and cost nothing, cos it was lying around the dinghy park. Buy a sports bottle and trap it inbetween the bungee of the toestrap. Or better still, tape a bottle holder to the lower mast section! (That you nicked off some guys bike!) ------------- |

Hi Nigel, there is no need to worry about a hatch next to the centre board case. Loads have them fitted as they were optional extras, and i think most ofthe boat show specials had them, you could fit a bucket in side for your car keys. Its the hatchs near the mast tube you need to run away from!!!
I would buy one because i hate having a bottle in my toestrap elastic, and the holder round the mast looks bloody messy! ------------- |
