Firstly my apologies for not getting back to everyone who expressed in interest in the pushpit etc.  I was called away for work unexpectedly and did not have a chance to respond.  I had no idea there would be so much interest in the hardware.  I felt the fairest way to deal with this was to put all the names in a hat and draw out a name. 

I have had #231 for a few years now based on the Canadian West coast.  The boat came out of the water 2 years ago for some improvements that I felt were necessary to go offshore.  The boat now has all new hardware on the deck hence the availability of the pushpit etc.  The refit is going well however I underestimated the issues of trying to do the work in a small town 150km away from significant services.  I have to select bolt sizes carefully as it,s a long way back to the store!  The boat is still fairly standard but it has been fitted with bulwarks - 6 inches high about 1 inch off the deck.  As yet it is untried of course but I am pleased with its functionality.  Currently I am in the process of new thru-hulls and flanged seacocks.  I think I'm going for Buck Algonquin but I can't find much in the way of reviews on the internet.

Thanks for everyones efforts on the list and for all the hard work that goes into maintaining it.

Mick
