The bow job is "texas chainsaw massacre" and the seller is quite optimistic in assuming the bow can be easily reconstructed (how about rebuilding the inner structure....and scarf gluing the side panels when in place and curved....pity because the inside timbers ate beautifully varnished....
another problem is that , probably the plans or templates are lost by now...
Another offence punishable by firing squad. Along with rotary sanders, fibreglass repairs, silicon sealant and the use of steel screws (found one last night - or at least my plane did!!)
How about....first scrape their hands raw....then make then clean up Nitromors (arrggghhhh...can feel that stinging sensation now - tears in the eyes).
Hi,
this should be my job really, most knowledge of Mermaids and closest , mind you having two in the cvrda could be interesting I would finally have another boat slow enough to race against!

Charlie's Mirror is 25 next season, so I hope to bring them both to a couple of events to celebrate. Mind, Saskia the Firefly is 50 in 2009, so she will need to come too. Maybe I need a double trailer!
I confess I've been deliberately avoiding getting any other genuinely old boats, on the theory that I enjoy sailing as well as bodging! Of course, I've broken the Int Moth every time I've taken her out, so buying a boat only 38 yrats old hasn't worked very well!
