Innovation

Post by Garry R »

As confirmed "Equipment fiddlers and innovators" the CVRDA might be interested to see how retired engineers open their curtains in the mornings.

Almost as complex as some in boom roller reefing systems used on bigger boats than ours.

Not as complex as tuning a fin (correctly as opposed to my methods).

Some people must indeed have too much time on their hands ... I'm talking of people who browse the web for daft clips, Garry!!!
My advice is go and get that merlin from the boy shouts you told me about. Idle hands and so on... :roll: :shock:

I was sent it in an email - honest. As regards the Merlin I have no space. (You should see Trish's garage!!)

Yes Chris finishes a project andmoves them into the house(pianos & harps) to make more room for boats.

Of course when he does have to much time on his hands he comes round to my house and takes my boat apart and then goes home :?

Is this the one in the Sea Scout HQ in Poole? I believe that is a very early one but would need considerable time and effort.
