We are also in North Fambridge in the afternoon and can fit one more boat in (Depending on the weather!)

We checked 5 boats yesterday and all were set up well. The first boat we planned to go sailing to set up the rig however when we got out of the Harbour the wind (or lack of it!) did not want to play, re-arranged now to go back in the Easter break. The owner (Bob) had a great knot for allowing the main halyard to be raised nearer the top, he had a spliced eye which was to large to go over the sheaves which was cut off, once this was done the sail went up by about 8", this took some of the bag out of the sail.
The only other item on some boats was rig tension, needs to be enough so that the rig cannot move, even when on shore for the winter.
