Both Peters,

Thanks for the advice re braking a mast... I shall tread carefully.<img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I think I've managed to break at least one of most things this season <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> so I'll try not adding the mast to the list. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
