Great thread - the lock to burried item will not help to much when landing on a random beach though, which is my main concern

Taking plugs out will keep the boat from going too far, but then I get a sunk boat off of some remote beach in the south pacific <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I guess taking the main & jib sheets would work pretty well, though a determined theif would just tow th boat

Are stolen cats common?
