Re: Destructive testing

Excellent
we are beginning to get a more global approach to testing now that you have included the sails
I've always thought it essential that we know the breaking strength of full main battens in the Crash gybe situation
In addition the burn-out point of electric anchor windlasses when attempting to recover a snagged anchor
Finally if I might suggest - I never really think that interior woodwork is tested fully - in particular I'l like to include the LongJohnSadler/Tome swinging on the bulkhead door test

Re: Destructive testing

Tome's no good, doesn't weigh more than an anorexic clothes prop, even when wet. No, I'm your man for stress testing the crew/joinery interface.

Re: Destructive testing

Do you mean to tell me that isn't Tom on the motorbike in his pic? Oh bugger - I've been so polite to him and I didn't need to be!

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Yer boat would be broken
And yer cupboard doors bust.
