Wanted Aerotec 380 - recent and in good order.

No - in the end I went for a 7m Coastline with 2 x single jockeys & 2 x double jockeys. We also fitted a rear bench. Very pleased, goes well with 175 on the back.

Forecast unlikely to be accurate at that range, but providing actual conditions are something similar, it will be fine.

Rounding Portland Bill

Only done this a couple of times about a decade ago. First time 'inside' and second time 'outside'. Both were in benign conditions and uneventful.
