Good save Jack! Losing the rig is one thing, but losing the Skipper...you’d have some fast talking to do - to Clipper and Me! God speed and looking forward to footage of this modified rig. Vicx

Crikey Slicko - you lunatic! Knowing you as I do, I expect you sawed half way through the mast when noone was looking just to give you that ‘something to fix’ ! Good luck for the next bit and don’t waste any of that precious diesel. All the best, Andy
