My account of importing, owning, sailing and establishing a fleet of Farr 3.7 sailing dinghies in the UK. The lightweights (50>75kg) single-handed trapeze dinghy.

Oh balls!
There's me feeling all smug about a bringing over a really nice box trailer and I have a sudden thought about tow hook sizes! Are they the same size in NZ as the UK? "This will dampen my day when I pick the boat up at Tilbury Docks if it doesn't hitch to my tow hook", I thought. Well it turns out I was right. They have 2 sizes of hook in NZ. The old style: 1:7/8th's (47.6mm) and the newer 50mm type, brought in to align with Europe. Another email has just been sent to the other side of the world to check.
