    • Stolen from elsewhere, but what I follow for twin receiver ariels    Yes its the inch or so at the end that does the receiving, so the radio can go anywhere convenient letting the aerial go where needed.  The active bit of the aerial needs to be above the waterline, it should be remembered that anything that can conduct electricity will, if in line of sight between transmitter and receiver, block the signal.  Dry wood and plastic, OK.  Metal, soaking wood (shouldn't happen, but still....), carbon fibre, metal plated plastic, all of these can block the signal.  Single aerials don't care which way they point.  Twin ones do say in the instrucions that the two elements should be at 90 degrees to each other, but it doesn't matter whether thats vertical or horizontal or anything between. Old style long aerials were difficult to block, the relatively tiny 2G4 aerials can be accidentally blocked much more easily.
    • I was about to put a 10 Rater for sale, Maverick design, GBR 3303. Designed by Ken Collins made by PJ Sails, with a waterline length of 1.28m and sail area of 0.96sq m. All carbon construction as is the fin and rudder. A and B rigs in plastic sleeve.  Rigs are shroudless with tapered carbon tubes and with a carbon tube for the jib luff. There is a radial mount for the jibs Twin Whirlwind winches This yacht has not been used for several years because it is the one class we do not sail in the local club. Boat can be seen near Plymouth, Devon but I am willing to travel. More details contact dain.dod@gmail.com, I can provide photos.
    • Thank you John but I'm looking for a complete one if possible, I'm sure one will come up sooner or later.  Thank again Regards               George  T
