    Tarquin - Trader Saga - do I publish again?

    One query - are the post dated cheques still valid? Might be worth a quick call to the bank to see if you can still present them. We had some issues with a post dated business cheque that wasn't presented within 180days of date on cheque. Bank considered it was 'stale'. I hope this isn't a...

    Landing in Portsmouth Harbour

    Helped a friend launch from the Porchester Sailing club slip - probably the only place I would want to land. It's just north of the castle and easily found with a couple of derricks / dolphins on the southern side of the slip. If I remember correctly from the sailing club to halfway up to VT...

    Question (as pub debate didn't answer) - gybing asymmetric spinnakers
