I had a strap. Terry.

When I was trailering my Warrior, I fitted an electric winch to the trailer. Easy-peasy from then on. Terry.

.........and me! Terry.

Or try your local Freecycle site. I got mine there. Terry.

What Alun said. Terry.

Update. Number one daughter, Amanda, has decided that she wants a day on the water to practice her skippering skills learnt a couple of years ago. Although not a club member, this will enable me to come out to play on Sunday. See you all out there. Terry.

Regrettably, my regular crew has had a heart attack and is on light duties so, I'm out. Terry.

There's also a free one at Portland just before the old entrance to the Naval establishment, right by the harbour exit, next stop the Shambles. Terry.

Perhaps we could suggest that they work with their colleagues in Sussex. Terry.

You do realise, as the husband, this is all your fault? Give Jackie my love and tell her to be more careful. A bit superfluous under the circumstances. Terry.

I can take one or two of the older ones. 😉 Terry.

Same thing in Christchurch Harbour? Terry.

I used to be the national expert on Madeira when I ran Madeira Holidays. A truly beautiful place with great walking. No beaches, apart from 1 artificial one, A great harbour and marina. The fishing is difficult because, being basically a volcano originally, it soars up from the bottom of the Atlantic very precipitously so incredibly deep very quickly. Try the local espada fish in the restaurants, delicious.
