Realistically, anyone towing a Leader with a Disco won't notice the

A friend once told a super story about catching their Wayfarer mast on a
tree when pulling out of their driveway, but isn't that why we insure the
things?!

Spose.

Now just to find the sail bag ... ;-(

My mainsail is in my hall, and is back on board as of about 08.00 tomorrow
morning.....

Nice. I do like to sail but not on the sea, it goes up and down too
much, and disappears when you want to go home .. ;-(

I don't like racing much either, especially on a small lake but would
rather go 'somewhere' by sail (if that makes sense).

There are times though, when there's a nice breeze and I'll enjoy a
few wild reaches across a Norfolk Broad or Lake District lake! ;-)

It's also fun to sail past the motor cruisers ..

All the best ..
