Thanks Tim.

I wasn't quite sure what you meant by Horizontal. Have attached a photo of where mine are... think it should be OK?.

I noticed during my recent repair and repaint that my starboard hull has had a repair done previously, inside @ front beam. The repair seems to have been done very well however I'm thinking it might be wise to leave putting a kite on till I can afford to deal with the possibility of breaking both bows off.<img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

As I have fessed up to on another thread, I reckon I have plenty to learn sailing her as is before joining the kite brigade, but I am getting a lot of pleasure from the learning. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
