Re: Xmas greetings and next projects
Seasons greetings to all. Presently in the shed are Merlin 1028 a Proctor X11 which is now going back together and is about to have the outside varnish removed.

Re: 2-Part Polyurethane Paints

Re: 2018 events
Hykeham up date. Due to pressure on the calendar with open days, interclub events etc The committee have offered us June 23/24. I know this is a bit close to the Aldeburgh dates. What does anyone else think? They want to go to press with the club calendar quite soon so views sought

Re: Merlin 1028
Thanks for that Pat. I wondered about bags but I have got some really nice decking ply which will be sympathetic to the rest of the boat and it would be a shame to cut two big holes in it! I am afraid that sails are going to be pretty much what is available second hand. The ravages of mice and poor ...

Merlin 1028

Re: Merlin Rocket 1028

Re: Merlin Rocket 1028
Thanks for that Ian. It is in remarkable condition all things considered and has been in dry storage for about 10 years. I hope to have it done for next year when ,with any luck, I should be out and about again
