Would you all consider putting your code into a Github repo? Would love to have a play too.

Would something like a Drascombe Lugger (or Longboat) or a variant thereof work? Loose-footed sails won't knock you out if they do catch you...

The various plastic barrier pipes you get for plumbing now is all suitable for potable water, and if you're worried about frost, plastic may be the way to go.
