Re: Stainless steel screws at Aldi tomorrow
Not worth it for me. The machine screws were big beasts with hexagon heads, the others were all countersunk - I seem to use mostly pan heads so no need for 320 of these in my toolbox

Re: Stainless steel screws at Aldi tomorrow
probably A2 but that is ok for dinghies in my experience - probably better in some ways as not as soft

Not sure how suitable these will be without seeing them but worth a look:

H04 Trimaran
Hi All,
we had a working party on Saturday and tucked away in the corner of the compound hidden in the undergrowth was a dinky little trimaran which was labelled either HO4 or H04 (Oh or zero).
Not something I have ever heard of and a web search has revealed nothing. Anyone got any knowledge?

Well...that did not go well!
Said "Avast Behind" a few times and some of the ladies at the club got quite cross!
I really did not realise that there was such strong anti-pirate feelings nowadays

Re: International Talk Like a Pirate Day - 19/09/15
suspect it is the slanted view from popular film culture - I blame Robert Newton for starting it all. From Wikipedia so it must be true! Newton is best remembered for his portrayal of the feverish-eyed Long John Silver in the 1950 film adaptation of Treasure Island, the film that became the standard...

If you are looking for a theme to liven up your weekend sailing programme, you could do worse than supporting International Talk like a Pirate Day

Concept 302 - great little boats
If yours has the optional spinnaker shute, that is a good place to look first

Re: Cvrda goodies and stuff
Had a look at the Wave site last night - impressed - quite a range of stuff and some options to put individual artwork on the back for different types of boat etc. - Matching Varsity jackets anyone?

Re: Cvrda goodies and stuff
Probably the most important thing is to make sure they go up to at least 4XL to cope with our increasing membership profiles
How about baggy "Captain Spalding" shorts?
