Great photos. Congratulations on the launch of the stitch and glue, which
looks a fine boat.
"Launch.gif" is the only image not to load, of all the sailing and boat
images listed. Is this a problem at my computer?
What is the grey boat? Not, perchance a grey plastic Skerray?
How did you go about stepping the mast?
The paddling country looks great, sombre cliffs and sea birds.
BTW, I had a towing-rolling-rescuing session last weekend, and worked on the
capsize T rescue you have described. This works very well, and is far better
than trying to lift a flooded boat across another, then empty. Thanks for
your excellent suggestion. This technique needs a name, perhaps the "Calder
Collapse", or "Colin's Capsize". I like this last, as the Australian Navy
has been having a lot of trouble with Collins Class submarines lately.
Regards, Peter Treby.
