Auzzee,
where would i be without you,
As usual your reply makes perfect sence.
shall go with the rope attachment to allow for adjustment.
Forgive the cheek, but one further question while i have your attention - can you direct me to a source of information which can give guidance on the installation of water storage tanks and their effects on the sailing charaterestics of the boat after installation. i have worked out what size of tanks i will require, the volume/weight of the water when tanks are full and in use, now i need to consider location of the tanks and what effects the water tanks will have on the sailing of the boat.
i know you will have some ideas so lets have them.
