Mind you, how hard is it to stow a 200mm bell on a 50 foot yacht?

Dear Tom and others.............

Dont go ringing your bell as if you were a vessel over 20m. Why???
Cause people are going to think youre a vessel over 20m and manouver
as if. ALl the light and sound signals have a specific message. Dont
be saying/showing one thing and be anouther.
