You'd be suprised how often the coastguard are called out for dinghy sailors who aren't on trouble.  If I need help I'll use my VHF to call them, ta  :y

ha ha, yeah it was funny leaving Lymington overtaking all the yachties as I was under sail and they were motoring.

Stage 2 of the project is to make a removable sleeping platform and a boom tent to sleep out on the water with.  Should be complete this winter.
