Re: Drysuit for a small person

Hi Jenny About 2/3 years ago I bought a Typhoon Rookie drysuit ( https://andark.co.uk/product/typhoon-rookie-junior-drysuit/ ) for my daughter (she's now 12) - she's never worn it, and it still has the tags on it, and has lost interest in sailing with me :x The drysuit is a Jnr S, with an unused typ...

Re: Sailing Chandlery S15 sails

Thanks to George and Mark for your advice. I hadn't actually considered the resale value of sails, or possible problems should I want to sell the boat.

Tiller end casting pin removal advice

Advice needed please. I'm trying to change the tiller end casting pins from the old long ones to the newer shorter ones (after several frustrating trips out using the little bit of hose trick I decided it was time to replace). Anyway, the old stainless steel pins are stuck fast in the aluminium end ...
