2 links of chain added to mast for the rigging.
The steering wheel has now had its spokes cut and a central hub fitted.

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.
Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

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 !!!!!
