If its a metal track glue sounds good - its hard to get epoxy to stick well to aluminium. If you're going to sailboat you can probably find some there, and the stuffseems to be reasonably available on line... BUT there are a whole host of different grades of sikaflex and I confess I don't know which one you want...
I thought the stars on Taking Liberties looked quite neat when new, although its not an effect that has survived wear well - looks too tatty too quickly really. My boat has recently featured dark blue overspray spots on light blue topsides, but I do keep her monochrome below the chines for ease of maintenance and fairing. Half polished off spots and patterns look less than wonderful! |

Hmm, I have to say that is pretty minging! Although more imaginative than my all over yellow... Your list of jobs looks very similar to mine...although whoopee my list has shrunk a bit now! Your daggerboard looks identical, but I see what you mean about the square rudder!!! If you want to build a new one it's really not that hard, and I have a routing jig which I made which you're welcome to borrow...it enables you to rout out an NACA0010 profile from a 19x195mm blank of foam or cedar. And I take it you know the old trick of carbon carp net landing poles at £35 the pair rather than proper chandlery-priced extensions at £140 the pair... Apart from the colour scheme the boat looks really good...and that is one serious gantry you have there!!!! Enjoy... |

Sorry, I only meant the bottom is minging...perhaps it's designed to give you more encouragement to keep it the right way up! |
