Sticky Weekend
« on: November 15, 2012, 03:49:52 PM »
We are planning to hold the sticky weekend on the 26th and 27th of January 2013, For anyone who hasn’t attended before, it's a great opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills required for repairing and building boats, foils and spars etc. . Anyone planning on bringing projects / boats please post details so I can prepare.

Saturday evening social /meal will be in the local curry house

Accommodation, if you are feeling brave and have a good sleeping bag you are welcome to stay in the workshop or the local Travelodge is only about a mile away. There are also loads of local B&B's

The workshop address is - Unit B1, Oldmixon Crescent, Weston-s-Mare, North Somerset. BS24 9AY.

For people wanting to save on costs there is also some floor/bed spaces at ours.
It is a 35 minute drive away.

...you mean sleep inside! Where's the fun in that?  :)

Out of respect for Sam's wishes I think we'll bag floor space at the Trims.

Sam's school are happy for him to do a T-foil conversion on Loco's spare rudder if Ade signs it off as Sam's work.

We would need to rout some med/high density foam, then begin laminating the carbon...or at least be clear how to complete it at home/school.

I can video Sam doing it if school need some more evidence.

Congrats for the Inlands and thank you for offering these weekends.

We're up for it too. Really looking forward to it.

Projects as yet undecided, as it depends on what I get done over Christmas. Is there any access to any spar mandrels that weekend?

Nigel if you need some foam prior to the weekend so you & Sam can make a start on the foil sections, let me know and I'll see if I can bring what you need to Carsington.  That should then allow you to laminate with carbon and fix in place over the sticky weekend.

Thanks Tom but we haven't got routing facilities. I think it's rout and fair it on the Saturday and first layer of carbon Sunday.

Happy to buy foam off you, bring it to the sticky(?)

Could I possibly pre book the boom mandrel?! I've got a few projects potentially lined up, but that is the one which would be most beneficial of external help!
