At the centre of the UW CLR, the vessel will move off parallel to the jetty, at other places the bow or stern will move off first.

Knowing my luck a gust would find the mast and blow us over whacking off one of the stanchions for sure. I admit it sure would be nice to know the CLR location exactly, however, just need the guts to do it. Victor Steve,

I cannot imagine shutters being required but we supply them in 19mm/3/4" ply just in case. Hi Gilles:

Are they for storm shutters? With the thickness (and they are strong!) of the windows, what kind of storm shutters did you prescribe? By the way, I keep hoping you would take the time to visit us in the St-Laurence in Quebec when you take Wind Horse back to warmer climate check out "archipel de MINGAN", it a good example! bye!
