    Twistlerig

    170 sq ft; luff c.33.3 ft. Foot < 3.4m. Staggered piston hanks suitable for 8mm forestay. SS swaged strop(s) on tack may need to be cut to suit your forestay length. Reluctant to split package but would consider if nobody wants the yards.

    Chain life...?

    Perhaps I should post a close up...and/or wire brush the rusty sections and then post! I'm not unusually paranoid about anchoring but I would sleep more easily were it not for the numerous rusty sections. As things look to me there may be more than 10% but measuring is believing. As for cutting...

    Chain life...?

    In 2006 I bought 60m of 8mm uncalibrated galvanised anchor chain and I'd like to say it has served me well but I really don't think so. It was bought from a British manufacturer who has a hot dip galvaniser close at hand. Having been sailing away from the UK since 2007 and having anchored...

    New Raymarine Evolution autopilot versus SPX5

    If motoring/motorsailing under reasonable conditions our S1G has coped. Sailing it doesn't do a good job even if reefed and sailing "balanced" and near flat. Having stripped 2 gear boxes the best move although not cheapest will be to install ram drive on Westerly Seahawk 35 - fin keel/spade...
