Re: best way to remove two pot varnish?
Being in a similar position, but having removed said epoxy, what does the panel recommend recoating with ~ Epoxy or Varnish? I am favouring varnish as a) I haven't been successful coating with epoxy previously, and b) I can eventually restrip and revarnish varnish finish easier when it needs in the ...

Old Games...(?)
To follow on from the 'Old Books' thread, I'd be interested in knowing what vintage dinghy related board games anyone has? Sadly I only have a 1960's jigsaw featuring Enterprises launching, and a board game called 'Olympic Yachting'... "all the thrills of being an Olympic Yachtsman in Kingston ...

Re: Old books
One of my favourites is a copy of a book titled 'Dinghy Cruising' by A.G. Earl dated 1948. It features the author's 'Parkstone Yacht Club Dinghy Class'.

It is seemingly abandoned at my club and we are needing to identify the boat in the hope of tracing the owner. It seems to have a Ge...
