Looks like Bundy and Ashby agree with the rest of you, hiking straps are nice to have <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

cool to hear some background info on CRO-2. Boat dont look like a new Marstrøm (centerboards, tramp-lacing hook missing, a bit worn paint, holes for the old rig in the mainbeam etc.). Wish I could afford a trip to Australia for a bit of sun and some good sailing! Attached is a picture I shot in our garden just today..
