Saw a chap @ Mersea Stone whizz up his Main PDQ

Sorry, Sailorman, but that was a Dehler 35CWS with electric winches - mine!:cool: I also said hello to you just by the 'Pioneer'. JB is certainly a pretty boat (mind you Don Pye never designed anything that wasn't IMHO)
I knew who it was after i looked on the ECF list :encouragement:, that was impressive hoisting, do you get any exercise at all with that lekki winch.
I believe that David Cooper had a large input into her

What with hoisting, reefing, trimming, furling etc, my fingers get a bit sore, from pushing the winch buttons and flipping the clutch levers :)

When 'deploying' the cruising chute, though, I often resemble a one-armed paper hanger :eek:
