Whoa! I have to have one of those anit-capsize things. Thanks for the 'site, Mike.

My CO2 life jackets were only $5 each at the surplus store but the cartridges are a bit pricey. If I had to use somehting like this it would be easier to hit a button than to run something up a halyard hoping that it didn't become hung up on something on the way up.

16% VAT. Ouch. I will have to start saving some pennies for a purchase in order to avoid the MasterCard guard at my house.

P.S.: I bought a slightly used mainsail from Steve Calvert last week. They do a good job down there. I can't wait until the snow melts here in Orlando.
