That would be good cheers, I've got pretty long tabs on my boat, might be preferable to drilling through the transom.

IIRC, Cookee was single when he got the holden, now he's a married man. Maybe it's a pickup in both senses of the word.

P.S. Apologies for putting my foot in it at Cowes. Was hoping a hole would open up in the ground and swallow me - as I suspect you were too.
