Thank you Kiteman - its just the engineer in me - why do it simple when you can make it difficult.

Hi Msea,
I think I might call you 'Challenged'. You always look for the alternative route, not the one a sane man would follow, but it wouldn't be you if you did.

Thank you Kevin -- you seem to have summed me up correctly. 
I suppose "challenged" is a little better than what you lot usually call me !!!!!

The standing rigging from the home-made jig has now been fitted.
