Hi CSP,
I meant to get back to you earlier re you email. On my Hartley TS16 I am in the middle of trying to fix a leak which as everyone tells me is probably round the centreboard casing. I have...

Hope you keep the photos coming Scotty, looks great. Where could we find out more on that design

Thanks Rowan, I think it will be quite a help. I was surprised how firm it is once it is all together. I cut it out of a sheet of formwork ply ( I think) about 25mm thick.

Good thinking Dingo, it is for a boat. I have the plans for a Belhaven 19' trailer sailer from B&B in the States. Graham Byrnes the designer is an Aussie and he has a big following over there.

Last night while I was getting ready to patch the small hole in the bottom ply (adjacent to the keel) I started to dig a little further. Finding more soft wood I went and got the cordless drill with...

First thing I did when I got home from work on New Years Eve was to instal one of the new wall cupboards in the kitchen then straight down to THE BOAT. I knew when SWMBO got home because the dog was...
