Ronin - winter refit

[Tim Noyce]

Looks tidy. Look forward to seeing the topcoat and fittings back on it.

Top coat sprayed today in Awlgrip medium grey, very pleased with the result.

Rudder stock painted to match

Looking good guys, I've spoken to Pete he's impressed.

Thanks Phil,
Unfortunately I cannot find a distributor with stock.

Additionally there are recent posts on kite surfing forums suggesting that it has been discontinued.

I will keep searching.

Hi Clive,
Sorry for the delay, I have just woken up to this request.

I was/am involved in some small scale promotion/distrubution of Holmenkol. I have checked the garage (I dont come across so many spinaker users nowadays!) and have some Seal n' Glide and Sport Polish available at a discount;

Seal n' Glide - £25 (I think the area suggests 1.5 x 21m2 spins. You might stretch it to 2 spinnakers, I did)
Sport Polish - £20
+postage

The Seal n' Glide worked really well on my older Cherub & RS800 spinakers to make them more water repellant and slippery.

Let me know if you would like some - peter(at)skifftastic.co.uk

Great to see Team Jenkins and Team Everest getting so fully involved in the class. It could be an interesting few years...
Cheers,
Peter

Ronin has made it back home, really pleased with the results, just need to put the fittings back on, then off to P&B to be measured up for the new sails.

Hope to make the Chew Valley blast for test sail. Fingers crossed

[Hayley_Trim]

Great news Paul. Looking good. Really hope you can make the blast. It should be the ideal opportunity to try out any new systems/settings. Easy launch and recovery, so (as we've found) if you've rigged something the wrong way round everything else/your T-foil is stuck on so positive you can't go in a straight line etc you can just pop back to shore, fix it and head out again in no time.

Excellent job.  I look forward to seeing it on the water.

[PaulJ]

All the fittings and control lines are now back on. Now with P&B for the new sails which should be ready in a couple of weeks, hopefully just in time for the blast at Chew Valley

[phil_kirk]

Looks really neat. 

[Graham Bridle]

Lovely job Paul

[PaulJ]

Finally everything has come together, Ronin's winter refit is now complete 

Relaunched at the Chew Valley Blast with the new P&B sails and straighter mast, still a few minor issues to sort but nothing that stops us sailing now the weather has improved
