call me a liar but i thought the general plan was to keep the boat the right way up?! in my previous experience they go quicker that way! 

You rig cherubs on their side anyway due to the lack of halyards so the bottom would be on show a lot so PTO might not be the best plan or you will get people trying to put your boat back on the trolley when you are trying to rig

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

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...
