Woop's right no I mean left ... Yes, I'd meant the leeword side of the tramp and boat.
I'll try to up load some pictures of my "wall to wall front tramp", but as you'll see it was a good idea at the spur of the moment (but I still would not recommend it for big winds).
This said, I'll be at the Mystere Factory later in April, and I'll give you a head's up on how it goes.
Hey, at day's end I'm happy to sail and I hope that I'm not a dying Dinosaur. So far my four kids are right there in the sport ... but sadly the lake is an empty place ..... "exhale" !
