Nigelr point taken and well presented.

Kerry, I mean no disrespect and am in no way doubting your competence or knoweledge in the area of boating. Actually I have read a few of your other posts and find that I either agreed with your advice mostly (or didnt have enough knoweledge myself to doubt you) which is to say more credit to you! I am sure you have a vast wealth of knoweledge that will and has been very valuable to members on the site.

All I'm saying mate is that theres always more than one way to skin a cat and theres definitely ways in written text to get a point accross with out stirring anyone up. Obviously you havent gained all of this boating experience by speaking like that to people in real life.

We all agree on the point that russ wanted clarification on so theres no beef there.

Kerry look forward to further discussion with you in the near future on a different topic

Cheers Chris
