I asked for a quote for one.

Once.

Managed not to laugh at how much they wanted for a spinnaker with a hole in it knocked out on the cheap in China...or somewhere.

Off course.
Didn't read #5 properly.

I have a parasail (the previous example) and it's the best toy I ever bought for my boat. Far better than a spinnaker. The only thing on my boat that cost more was the engine. I can set and drop it when single handing, it's simplicity itself to handle. Far from being sewn in China, it's made in Germany from modern lightweight parachute material.

We'll worth every penny.

Hi Dylan, bit of a drift (sorry). Have you seen Sea Cloud II in you wanderings around The Minches? She's been around here for about a week and was headed north off Loch Ewe yesterday. Beautiful sight.

She's a three masted barque and has a sister ship Sea Cloud - four masted barque.
Utter luxury on board for a few ferociously rich peeps.

did not see her when I was up there

been back at my desk for ten days now

hiding from midges and doing some work, luxuriating the space and good web connections and watching the weather to see that the west coast is getting a wet august

going back in september to paint and varnish the boat ready for the new owner and I will then move her south to the Clyde

Ah. I thought by your "holey kite post" that you may have come back up to enjoy our on-off-on weather! Lovely yesterday and today so far
