No cringle for cunningham/downhaul. And a Dutchman reefing question.

Thanks gents...I didn't know, although I'd heard of annealing.

I'm beginning to be glad I have a whole metre of pipe to experiment with. I'll see if it was graded X, Y or Z.

Glad I have a blow-torch too, bought late last year for browning the cheese on dinners. ?
