I anchored overnight when I went on my first outing, i found it was getting a bit cold with the main hatch open and the front hatch alone wasn't doing it for me, just thought being able to slide open a side window would have been perfect

Cabin Window Ideas

It's interesting Ray I have looked more closely at my sails and one of them has a Fremantle label on it suggesting it came from WA, and my HIN starts with AU-TWA which suggests the HIN was installed in WA but the boat has made its way to NSW at some stage. I'll post the full HIN shortly.

Thanks Ray

Cheers Ozzie look forward to talking with you all about your adventures

Hi all, The boat that I recently purchased came with a rudder that is missing something to keep it locked into the pins it sits on.

There's a large number 18 on one of the sails not sure if it's original and means the boat number will check those other areas cheers
