    Clipper wind System

    5 years and still spinning so just to add some balance. Previous boat 4 years before a seagull sat on it. I find NASA kit excellent, back up very friendly and bits if you need at a good price. Tic Tac or Tac Tick is certainly the way forward, but not until they break down completely. What I...
