Thanks, William.

I'm in Adelaide, so if I do end up joining a club I shouldn't have a problem - I'd like to, but there's the whole "I can't sail" embarrasment to overcome first. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I agree about power tools - we discovered working on the other boat that hand tools are great. It isn't so much that new tools are needed, so much as providing an excuse - even if they won't be used.
