Thanks, Brizzle
Garry,
You bet I needed the Milk of Magnesia after that! I didn't think one could relaunch a boat without pouring a slight libation to the water gods but all I had in the fridge was an out of date alco-pop. I didn't think the Gods would mind me having a drop too but by the taste of it (alcoholic domestos) it was well past it's best.
Spreader position - half way between the hounds and gooseneck seems to be about right.

Indeed it was. have found an Osprey mast that I might be able to cut down but that would still be longer than the present one - that would give a touch extra height between the plank and boom.
Spreader length only deflects shroud outboard by an inch or so (about what I'd normally set a rig up for) but the next move would be to sweep them aft to help try to induce some pre bend.
Watch this space for the Mk II version!!!

Garry - sorry, forgot to say....Alan Williams said (on more than one occasion) that if you lopped off a few feet from the Unit you'd have a very nice Flying Junior. Now that's all very well - IF you know the Flying Junior!!

Hi Guys
Back at work. Did not drink the beer as driving. Had the same meal as DavidH Steak Ale pie. Shona and Ellie are also ill caught it off me I suspect, Seonaidh had same as me , Ellie Scamp. Seems only common facture on all reports is that those not used to sailing in polluted water have the stomach bugs. Still serves me right for getting the JC knot in the wrong place.
Cheers Al
