      Hi.

      I have newly joined the Forum.

      During 1981 I learned to sail in a Wayfarer when I undertook a two week RYA sailing course at Forth Crusing Club on the Firth of Forth after which I bought a Mirror dinghy.

      I moved to Rotherham in 1982 and took the Mirror with me. Once settled there I joined a sailing club on Underbank Reservoir near Stocksbridge and once I became more proficient I bought a single handed Laser which I enjoyed racing at the club.

      After I moved back to Scotland in 1987 I turned my attention to power boats until the mid nineties after which I more or less gave up boating.

      Since then I have always had a hankering to try sailing again and last week I bought a GP14, which by all accounts, seems to be a good all rounder.

      I am fettling her at the moment in readiness for getting afloat once again and I am interested to know roughly how old the boat is (sail number 10547).

      Also I would be pleased to receive some advice as to where the kicking strap should be fixed.

      At the moment it is shackled to the top front port side of the centre board housing which I really feel is not quite right.
