Usually these adverts also show a good looking girl in a bikini preparing a Sunday roast for six.

I crewed on an Oyster 56 with hydraulic furling. The mainsail leaked oil over the deck. The headsail furler broke and the anchor released itself and took lumps out of the boat. All this in a rising gale approaching Spain.
Technology ain't all its cracked up to be.

I will raise you 'westerly 10 later' 100 miles off west coast if Ireland, staysail had fallen down and genoa jammed out. Good boat though, bigger than our house.

It was a bit alarming to have most of the headsail out, and unable to retrieve it, as the internals of the Wreckman, or should that be Reckman, parted company with the forestay. Anyone who says you just go round in circles to wrap it up hasn't tried it. Very nice boat but needs maintenance.
