The hammer under the passenger seat is the 1st thing I saw, what a beaut, you could punch a hole straight through the bottom in one swipe with that if needs must!

here's mine, full main and spin running dead downwind when a 35 know squall blows through, not one of my smarter moments. Still, it is not a bad attempt at a marine handbrake turn hehe

We even managed to hold onto second on that race biggrin

hehe think it's mast, we were actually coming back up there, went far enough over to slap the mast in the water! Plus side is water temps are 23c so quite pleasant!

IOR boats always fun!

All inland boats need a lump hammer for the bashing in of mooring stakes. Indeed the clink-clink of hammer on stake at the end of the day is a well-known symbol for bar-opening time biggrin
