Thanks to everyone for the interesting and helpful ideas, from type of material ( the cutting board,) to the various methods of getting it back into position without getting stuck there to enjoy sailing from the inside, under the cockpit sole, and stretched out lying down. It demonstrates how varied, talented and helpful the Montgomery sailors are. Your willingness is exemplary. I'm off for the next week. Will miss the list for a bit but will be anxious to get back to it. Anxious for April 7 too, first day out to the river this spring. Happy Sails to You Harvey & Deena H M-15 #348 "Pelican"
