Here is the latest in Albacore crew accommodation being trialled ready for Largs: Link JohnW2009-06-19 16:15:00 John W GBR 8213

Or have they been selling a lot of Albs on the other side of the pond? Not quite as bad as this though : www.yachtsandyachting.com/photos/?s=64&PID=33226 The Bad Girl has a new coat: Black is back! and the latest HAPCO gets measured up : JohnW2009-06-10 22:45:25 John W GBR 8213

That looks like a whole greenhouse rather than a window! Now where is that recent post by Yurv Beanhad? JohnW2009-06-16 13:23:17 John W GBR 8213

Health & Safety gone mad, perhaps crews don't shout STARBOARD!!! on these waters. Can't read how it can be in class, probably the 'window trial' carried out last year, or whenever. I see that 'Rooster' charge you per window, this sort of thing could get pricey? GT Marine

Thats what I call out of class!!! rule 13.3 states in part "no window will be less than 150mm from any edge of the sail to witch it is fitted" it also says that total window area in any one sail shall not exceed 0.19sqm. Cant say without a tape but looks big to me. If that is allowable perhaps we could have nonwoven sails with a small patch of woven cloth and call the sail the window insta=esd of vece versa.

Please contact P&B for more details / prices on 01604 592808 Also notice the shroud adjustment system copied from your boat which I forgot to retension resulting in an alarming sidways bend in the mast... whoops.
