Phil has advised the price for his boat (as seen above) is reduced to $6.9k

Neil, not being rude, but your traveller setup is weird! Search this site for "Mainsheet Traveller" and you will find some info. It looks like your track is mounted on its side. For the travellers which do not have rope controls, there are usually spring loaded pins which limit the range o...

New listing on Gumtree as a "Yacht" . Location Sussex Inlet NSW. She (seller) is a bit optimistic on her price.

I have no idea how much storage we have available on this site, but so far no problems if you stick to the max kb size, whatever that is. I can check, but I think that is about 50kB.
