Blacksocks is in Portsmouth, did not know Reflex was at Saltash, I know she went to France and I thought she was up country somewhere now. Lifting keel is a great theory, only tried it once and had to use a crane and it was quite a job! Most of the boats weight is in the keel and I dont know how you would lift it without external crane. I think there is a deep water mooring available of Mountbatten this year and it is not constrained by tide. Have you looked at Assagi in Shorestore, much better condition than Charisma with better sails, also going cheap! Keith

yea reflex went to france then was in gatwick and then went up contry but fold on ebay and is now in saltash
and i cant see that boat on shorestores website but how much is it as i would be getting charisma very cheap

I dont know but would guess its at least 200kg! I think Assagi was about £1700 Keith

Brendan Assagi is on this website under sales and advertised by Porche190. He is assking 1775 but will probably take less. Dont underestimate cost of sails. I think Charisma is using a worn out set of mine with no 6648 on. Assagi did have decent sails. Keith

well charisma was too cheap for me to miss i had to go for it i know she is a bit of a mess but i am a boat builder so it shouldent be to hard to tart up i just cant decide weather to do the work now or get her in the water and get sailing then do it next winter
i know what sounds the better choice

Heard that the MBOA had a spare moorings this year. They are off Mountbatten. They are about the cheapest deepwater moorings near the sound.
