Will you have to listen to Low Rider by War every time you go to sail it, with a little pep talk?

Good luck with the fit out.
We just did some check measurements and found we were a bit long on the snout. AAGH! 2 hours later the boat is shorter and has a new shackle carboned on it. I think everthing else is about there.

Well, what i mean to say is there we were all smug and thinking Dean and Simon have a bit of a project ahead of them only to find ourselves in the same situation. Still inending to be at sunderland though!
