For those that don't know Hunters yard hire and maintain a fleet of mainly 30s and 40s varnished mahogany cruisers. They are quite splendid boats, maintained to a high standard.

Ants do seem to like it under boat covers without there being any problems involved. I recently evicted a large group from under UnSkol's toe straps.

Interesting: see message...

Not precisely sure what a mast ring is, but can't you fabricate another to butt against existing? Better than chopping mast.

I need some roughly 1.5mm veneer, preferably oak. Not huge quantities, basically 4 bits about 400mm * 350mm. Surrey or Sussex would be convenient, because carriage would be prohibitive for such small quantities from Robbins I reckon. Anyone got any suggestions for suppliers?

JimC I was contacted by Celia Edgington at the RYA - she is co-ordinating it with a media person called Dougal at David Henshall Media. I may know someone in your area who is a Gull person who might be able to help. In my area we have a very good reprographics firm who copy to A0 and are really car...

I have most if not all of the Gull material from the early 60s in rather fragile condition. What I don't have are the facilities to scan them, because these are large drawings, and a bit fragile to faff round trying to fit bit by bit on an A4 scanner. They're in NE Surrey. Who's your RYA contact?
