VHF?? - who but the cognoscenti uses that nowadays/
Well perhaps it's a good idea to keep things in the "club"..

By all accounts it was a very short-lived problem. Apparently a case of a starboard sluice sprocket out of true on't 'treddle. Soon fixed by some PC geek.

Pig of a lock to wind otherwise.
