    It is true to a point, depends on where you are. I was chair of a HOA in florida and when you buy you sign a contract which is enforceable in law. I wish we had them in the uk sometimes !

    the luff of the sail should have a luff rope (cord) that goes up the groove as per a real yacht.

    Try contacting a local gun club that has its own indoor range. They will have loads of spent lead to get rid of.
