Post by: ross_burkin on October 06, 2009, 11:47:49 PM: If I haven't manage to build the foils for the E5 by then I'll be finishing them off. I want to build a new rudder and a T-foil for Fuzzy and stocks for both.

Does anyone want to order some carbon with me? Uni and weave, quantities unknown. Might well order some foam as well.

Post by: rich_taylor on October 07, 2009, 09:37:59 AM: I can bring down a T foil mold if anyone wants to use it and I have a big roll of "Class Glass" weave circa 150gram if that is required,

Post by: john_hamilton on October 07, 2009, 01:16:12 PM: paul, i also need to do some repairs on a few dings on the centreboard and the stock + ceterboard case need some re grip-taping due to the tape and piece of string both falling out at the nationals after the emergency repair. is that ok?

Post by: roland_trim on October 07, 2009, 05:57:05 PM: Am really torn on this one. Half of me wants to get wet - the other half would really enjoy a weekend at Pauls.

Title: Re: Sticky weekend 14th and 15th of November at W-s-M
Post by: paul_croote on October 07, 2009, 10:22:41 PM: yep, it all in the early planning stage at the moment. Might be working on the plug at the sticky weekend
Title: Re: Sticky weekend 14th and 15th of November at W-s-M
Post by: phil_kirk on October 08, 2009, 01:17:07 PM: I intend to be there and happy to help build things. Sounds like there are going to be several rudder stocks in work.

We may bring some bits to do for E-numbers if we are still putting things together.

Paul is this new boat the 'Croote 1'
Title: Re: Sticky weekend 14th and 15th of November at W-s-M
Post by: paul_croote on October 08, 2009, 09:50:27 PM: It's being designed by Kevin Ellway, I am making the plug and Mike Cooke will be making a female mould to build them. As I said it's all at an early stage at the moment.

It will be my 2nd Ellway, My first Cherub was Spot On, an Ellway 2!

Post by: Banshee Ambulance on October 08, 2009, 10:13:03 PM: Anyone driving from Southampton/London? Would like to come but is dependent on transport. Stanley could be due to have a new center plate by then!

Is the new boat an E5? Or is there an E6 in the pipe line? I will bring the (semi) final lines for my new design for people to review if anyone is interested.

Post by: simon_jones on October 09, 2009, 11:28:23 AM: Dean and I will be there on Saturday only as college work is pressing, however count us in for the curry.
Not sure if we will bring anything to get sticky with our T/foil could do with some attention though.
Title: Re: Sticky weekend 14th and 15th of November at W-s-M
Post by: phil_kirk on October 09, 2009, 12:33:47 PM: Do we want to advertise the weekend with a Yachts and yachting website article. i was thinking class membership required.

This would help raise the profile of the class and perhaps gain us a new member.

Post by: Tom K on October 09, 2009, 08:04:25 PM: I plan to attend. Beans currently has a small leak, no mast and no Tfoil... Ill probably choose one of those jobs for the sticky weekend.

I will also be traveling from Soton with a spare seat, providing it isn't needed by anyone from Kentish Town.
Title: Re: Sticky weekend 14th and 15th of November at W-s-M
Post by: Banshee Ambulance on October 11, 2009, 03:25:34 PM: Cheers Tom. Will be in touch nearer the time.

Post by: roland_trim on October 15, 2009, 08:05:35 AM: Mandrelisation:

We have the still has the Paul Croute pole mandrel and also the BMG mast tip and mast bottom mandrel with us in London. I'm not sure if we also have the boom mandrel.

Would anyone like to make use of them at the sticky weekend?

Roughly translates to:

We still have Paul Croote's pole mandrel...

Post by: Ratface on October 19, 2009, 09:11:55 PM: I plan on coming, with or without boat as currently there is nothing that needs doing apart from new grip paint.
Be nice to learn some of the tricks of how things are done!

Post by: john_hamilton on October 23, 2009, 07:57:43 PM: whats the address
Title: Re: Sticky weekend 14th and 15th of November at W-s-M
Post by: paul_croote on October 24, 2009, 10:37:30 PM: Map below. There is plenty of floor area at the workshop for anyone wanting to camp, (remind me to switch off the compressor!), or there are at least 4 twin / double rooms avaliable at the Weston-s-Mare East Premier Inn, £55 per room (for two people) per night). Not sure local B&B's are any cheaper
Title: Re: Sticky weekend 14th and 15th of November at W-s-M
Post by: Tim Noyce on October 25, 2009, 08:25:23 PM: I think the B&B we stayed in last year should have been £30-£40 a night, but it ended up that they forgot to charge us anyway! There are loads of cheap B&B's in WsM so take your pick!

Title: Re: Sticky weekend 14th and 15th of November at W-s-M
Post by: roland_trim on November 11, 2009, 07:49:57 AM: It is looking more and more like I will be in the office this weekend. Is anyone from London heading down?

If so could they bring back a couple of bits from Mr Noyce and Mr Kiddle or even a delivery from Wizz (means through central Bristol)?
Title: Re: Sticky weekend 14th and 15th of November at W-s-M
Post by: phil_kirk on November 11, 2009, 12:36:45 PM: I could pick up from Wiz on friday afternoon if that helps.

If this is for what I think you are thinking I could have a go on Saturday and share the results.

Confirmation and thoughts on the size of mould would help.

Sorry, should have read the topic first. The crew might make an apperance too. We wont be building anything ourselves though.

Only got out of the office at 5am this morning, so some photos of life would be really cheering...
