A lot of boat yards on the Aegean side can't cope with over 5 m wide lifting. But there are yards that use trailers that will lift the cat up from underneath in the middle which has adjustable pads...

Mine is to bilge keel version. But they are big keels... I'm tidal here ten meters so a fin is not an option ha ha. But yes I hear what you're saying about baring iff and making life easier

The track is right out next to the toe rail as well

I'm not shortening the spreaders. My spreaders measure 7 Foot cross tip to tip my chain plates are just over 9 foot apart... so the ringing is at an angle getting wider as it goes down as it is which is strange.

My spreaders are 7-foot across total and the chainplates are nearly 9 ft apart so the shrouds are at an angle which is weird.

I mean even for example an old westerly renown have them in the middle of the walk way... yes I know what you mean about the fractional racing yachts those are nearly against the coach roof.

Ive seen many production boats similar to what you're saying... So that's why I wanted to change it

Hi thanks for the reply. I have Wesley Griffin as well well which is is not fractional rig and that has quite in boards rig. And Moody 31 behind me that is also more inboard and mine. I've seen quite a few masthead rigs where the train plates do not sit out near the toe Rail

My chainplates are all to the outside just by the toe rail. Googling pictures all the other colvic 296 model seems the same. Which means the Genoa sheets have to run on the outside of all the guard rails meaning you cannot Close Hall at all... I want to move everything in board by about 6 or 7...

I've just checked... Your vessal would have had to been in the EU midnight December 31st 1992 to retain its EU vat status

What I mean is ....yes the UK have agreed to give the EU 6 months stay in the UK... But going by the uk government website the 6-months stay is only for working people not tourist.

But it's on a points system for EU workers coming to the UK...not visitors

That is very correct and I think the key date was march 1995

I'm reading on the UK gov site that an extension after the 90 days can be obtained...am I reading this right...or I might be getting confused and its meaning extension of a shengen visa which is very very hard to get

That's the trouble UK prices are really good...... People knock the UK but I find it cheaper for mostly everything not just marine parts.
