This is beginning to get difficult I fear.
Also reading back through some of the descriptions, it resembles an instruction manual. I have never been very good at understanding either instruction manuals or pilot books and so tend to avoid them whenever possible.
I think the simplest way of getting this lot sorted out is to have practical demonstrations, perhaps the Chentleman's cruise might present itself as an opportunity to do this?

Ah, a cunning ruse to lure me round Mulligan's Tyre while still recovering from the Clyde Scuttlebut. And then a poopdiving contest, no doubt blindfold and with a high gamma-GT reading. Sounds good, but realistically I think we'll still be in the Clyde at the time the intelligencia of the internet are anchored in the pool of honk 56 19.4561N - 005 35.2287W
This could be so good the meerkats should pay, so I'm chucking the ladders and going into showbiz. Tickets will soon be available...

I'm planning to spend a few weeks in the Clyde before heading northwards in July - perhaps a Synchronised Activity may be possible?

Look forward to synchronising, hopefully not associated with swimchronising, otherwise the meekats win. see PM

I have long been a devotee of Fiona the Fenderstep as she allows one a leg-up and at the same time doesn't mind being squeezed between Claymore and whoever Claymore is trying to get close to.

Now - I have to advise you that dire prognoistications befall people who advertise on Sailing Forums - Simon the Weather did this a while back and the fallout is still continuing. I would have thought your position was particularly precarious now that the Smithy has shut down and the Cartford had gone upmarket

Before you paid good money for this trollop Fiona you regularly wipe your feet on, (there is a name for this but I won't go there), did you try two fenders, tied together(parallel), horizontal? - just wondering as the cost of a Fiona is now about Â£30 as opposed to 3 halfcrowns worth of debris from the bosuns bag. How do you tie her down, by the way? 2 verticals and 2 springs? Is she absolutely failsafe?

Fiona is a wonderful little thing - even after Parahandy's attempted seduction of her.
2 strings attached and she is well hung.

And JohnS gets across that busy road on his own?

John, you are more than welcome to have your business website in your signature (even if you did cancel your paid advertising

)

So is anyone else - as YBW do, all I ask is that you put a link to BlueMoment somewhere on your site.

(Simon is allowed as many links as he wants - top, bottom and middle - because the service he is providing is worth it

)

I would also remind people that there is a very underused 'For Sale' forum on here, whch has no arbitrarily defined upper limit. If it is a whole boat however I would ask that you use the Classifieds system - which is free anyway until at least 30 people put their boats on it.

Is that Zimmer A4 stainless?

I'm pretty sure there's a market for those if they will float and can set a sail.
