Launching facilities are sufficient in Burnham for very large yachts ! Manningtree is restricted to high water. Closer to London, ther is a launching slip at...
Hi, To be honest Burham is a bit of a trek from here and time available would probably preclude it for most in a Micro. All of us live in Manningtree or close...

Not sure I understand what you mean by 40mm nose down and assembly kick back. Is there a possibility of perhaps sending some photos so that we know what to...
I will take photos later when it stops raining but the enclosed sketches should explain Terry <terry.home@...> wrote: Not sure I understand what you...
