Thanks Karen, that's very helpful advice indeed (to which my wife knowingly agreed with, telling me she too thought I was being a bit optimistic putting carpet down). Our the 'crew' has started to pull himself up and wandering around, so there will be all sorts of trouble he will be able to get in when on board as you quite rightly said AntarcticPilot (is your daughter still so athletic now??).
What netting did you use for the forepeak and how did you affix it? I am sure Thomas will be throwing himself 'banzai' style at it, so I want it as tight and bullet proof as I can make it! I will head over to the east coast forum and have a poke around!
With regards to maximum sailing times, we have a bit of an issue in that we are on the Medway, meaning that to go anywhere its eight hours. He managed it when he was four months old, so I'm sure he'll manage it now so long as we choose our conditions carefully. If you have any photos of your set up, I would be very grateful to see them. Thanks again.
Indeed, my daughter (in her 20s now!) is still keen on sport - plays football, and goes to the gym.
