Got a week in Poole coming up as part of my lifeboat training. 
 
Anybody familiar wih the area, whats worth seeing/doing in the evenings?

Hi guys, after having bought 3106 from a guy in our club she has lain belly up on some tyres, rubbish cover and no trolley, as I mess about as crew on an Albacore. I had every intemtion of taking 3106 home over the winter and taking care of the tlc so she was good for this season, but college and part time job have left me with Sundays free, which are of course sailing days. 
So as the college holidays approach I am planing the refurb. As far as I can tell it is 'merely' re rigging, new buoyancy bags & dangly pole. She seems fine if a wee bit scruffy. 
A few questions. 
To repaint would you completely remove old or just key old surface?
How much does a N12 worth of lines cost?

Hi Guys. I'm looking for some homebrewed solutions? My 12 is sitting in the boatyard for the winter, the problem is that no more ground anchor points remain. I have been thinking of filling a bucket with old weights and concrete with an eye bolt out of the top with which to secure a ratchet strap. 
 
What do you/have you done if in a similar position? I'm in a windy spot in the highlands and need a secure solution.
