Thanks Alan, Ian and Robin. Fortunately I had no breakages  as such, more a case of things coming adrift, like the Boomkins, chainwales, hammock nets,cathead and gun port lids down the port side. The good news, is that it allowed me to redo a few things in the process, so all is well now and back in place. The thing that took the longest was the chainwales as all the shrouds and lanyards had to be undone and redone. so now it is onwards and upwards or is is up up and away.  Rgds, Hans

Thanks Ian You bet Jase. I do not want to experience that again, believe me. I had some really nasty and horrible split second visions. Realised I have to be a lot more careful and vigilant. Rgds, Hans
