On the east coast of England this week has seen the marina car park full of boats, eveyone is pulling out.

I am panicking about being ready for the spring and a lift out is low on my list.

Immediate panic is mast off for second removable forestay. This will be for storm and I hope the genny.

Whilst mast is down will fit LED anchor and tri, anyone know a good make ?

Also a radar reflector, I want smallest cheapest to conform. My belief is that if a big boat cannot see me with modest reflector then he will not see me with an aluminium main.

Have asked before; anyone any experience with spinaker pole and associted string. At the moment I have twin second halyards, will use one for spinaker and other for pole. Jib self tack should work for holding pole down, using double ring at bow which is also for second removable forestay.

A completly diferent problem, can I "T" my small watermaker into engine intake. I can not see a problem ; but I am stupid.

The proof of my stupidity gives me endless fun and costs a fortune, that is why all boats have girls names
