Re: Simoun

It was the mast step, a weak spot from what I have read but apart from the different gel coat colour as good as new (or better).
Will try to get you a few pictures of sails etc. with dimensions over the weekend, any requests?

Pacer Mast

Does anybody know where a sailing colleague of mine (based at Bewl) could source a new (old) mast for his Pacer.
He managed to fit his car and most of his boat under the overhanging trees!!! but finds the pacer under performs with only 3/4 of the mast left!!!

Re: Simoun

Transom holes work well, keep weight forward at slow speed and you keep very dry. My boom is black, but i think i still have the original sails so if you need any measurements let me know. Are you going to BB this weekend? could bring them along Regarding other points, never bumped into another 445 ...

Nessa
Is it a simoun 445 ?
If so I have been sailing one (circa 1977) at Bewl for the last 10 years (great fun).
If you need sail size I would be pleased to help

Re: Drying out

This may help.
Cut out a smaller hole than you need, then clamp/screw (through the piece to be cut out) another piece of ply to the underside of the cut. Then cut to required size. This should stop any of the splitting to the back side of the wood.

Re: Spearhead

Thanks to all replies. Spearhead has found its way back to Bewl now! Still trying to find its old owner here. Niel did it have any bouyance bags to the rear (near helm) as it seemed to "sink" when when it fell over the other day.
