Thanks again for your info Tempest51, I am only just starting to sail myself and I will only be using mine for day sailing. I completed the repainting of mine late into the start of the season last year so I hope to get some more in this season. I in tend to sail mine on the Thames but a lot further down than you sail, I am in the South End on Sea area. Hence my need for an outboard (just in case).
Thanks again,
Hoggy.
