Tell RS to pull their fingers out!
Their glue is fine - but getting the mix right is hilarious. The glue comes in weight, the catalyst by volume and they don't tell give you a usable ratio for the mix, units being all over the place. But generally, I've found it works nicely regardless of the guessing going on. Advantage of the RS supplied glue is that when you do the next one, the old stuff comes of nicely with a really sharp chisel then acetone to get rid of the rest. They also pre-shape the gasket and make then masking-tape the central cut, so it goes on in one piece. Peel of the masking tape and voila. Final tip- Always tie up the plate after sailing and definitely when towing. The board does not then fall down and distort the gasket when you are not sailing. Make sure the garage is a sensible temperature too

Yes boat is so wide that out flat means no one can walk around it and kids bikes get in the way. On edge gives a bit of room. Need a bigger garage really!! Thank god I don't have a Merlin.
It's my slot gasket since new but my last one was never really right as I started getting water up through slot in certain conditions so having another go. Just need a decent contact adhesive. Any recommendations other than the one sold at RS which they are currently out of stock. Cheers, Keith

Make sure you find the right adhesive, had to do mine 3 times, NB its not Sikaflex !! If i remember rightly I had to shape the gasket as well.

Good luck, know the feeling when it comes to having the boat propped up at an angle indoors to do the job!
I installed a roller garage door, for the insulation value, when we moved into our house years ago, then realised a side benefit is that the internal beams make the perfect sail drying / kit drying rack, although you have to go bows first to get a wide boat on its side....

I assume Ballotelis camouflage Bentley was a wrap. At least you can just peel it off afterwards...

I went to a print trade show for the first time this year, for the life of me, I can't work put why one company had "foiled" a Lamborghini... A Transit van (no offence) I can understand but a non racing super car? I guess it answers the question about how they can rebrand those extreme cats so quick and now 100's too....

Some nice pictures in the latest Y&Y from last 100 event. I like the green hull. I assume that's a sticker wrap or something?
