Any chance of a rough head count - curry house has asked for a deposit...

Have you/Paul been able to buy the paint - or do I just go and do that on the am?

[roland_trim]

Sorry for the poor communication on my part, heading via the paint man on Wednesday.

Awesome weekend guys!

Loco has a softwood core for the new daggerboard and a very natty early t-foil made by Will Lee to go on it as a lifting foil about a foot below the hull...crash, bang wallop here we come....

Thanks to Paul Croote for workshop and woodworking virtuosity and Roland as ever for his enthusiasm, helpfulness and skill.

Sam is pleased as punch to come home with an RC helicopter, curtesy Mr trim. In fact it was a weekend of helicopters - watch out for the video

Indeed thanks to Paul for hosting and Roland for boundless enthusiasm!  Also many thanks to the various pairs of hands that helped with the mast extension & squidgy boom!  I cant wait to get the boat on the water with the new rig!

Thirded - and to those who lifted our trailer and discovered its hidden weakness

[Torchy]

Andy, did the paint job get sorted?

[andy_peters]

Yes it did thanks to some sanding by Jill and I and further spraying by Roland and Paul.  Even the masking worked perfectly so we have a nice blood red boat now.  The trailer is fixed as well - good job we discovered that or it could have got nasty at some point.

Excellent
