Hi guys, this is a strange question. I'm an Entrepreneur and sailing nut, out looking for some problems to solve. So if you've got a problem or something that stresses you about sailing, speak now or forever hold your peace. :D

If I can't help, who knows, another forum member might point you in the right direction!

Thanks everyone.

Er....have you looked at this forum, or any other for that matter :confused:

Better to just offer your help along with other members when people ask on their own threads. Spend some time looking through the various sections and threads to understand how it all works! By individually starting and titling threads on a particular problem it is easier for members to help and for others to use it as a reference for information rather than just wading through one thread with numerous problems and 101 replies :rolleyes: Plenty of problems on here to get stuck into already...

Welcome to the forum...:)

Your keeping your cards close to your chest Pete, when do we get to know what you have lined up ;)

I don't have anything lined up yet; a few weeks ago the plan was to keep KS for another season before looking for a replacement. Although it now seems more likely we'll put her up for sale some time this winter.

I rather like the idea of a Westerly Fulmar, although I'm a bit concerned that I might be narrowing down the options too early and missing out on other good possibilities.

I'll be sad to go from a pretty boat to an average one, but as they say, the view's the same whatever you're sitting on.

If you give an example of where you are coming from and what your core skills are besides a billion GBP in the bank then we can help you help us!!!
 
I am running out of £100 notes to tear up whilst standing in my shower.

Can you send more?

OK - here's a real problem.

Is there a way of hauling up a large, heavily-roached catamaran sail, which therefore needs full-length batons, without the baton-ends getting continually caught in the lazy jacks (which requires the sail to be temporarily dropped again) unless the helmsman is 100.00% accurate at holding the bow directly into the wind?

Easy. Get a monohull. It can be steered easily into the wind. :D
