Sorry, I scanned through the posts. Well that does make the claim slightly less likely, but there are so many factors at work that I can well believe it. |

Haha, You guys are crazy.
We will take no responsibility for the condition of any of your foils after a day sailing at BLYM. So It'll probably happen at Datchet .. How does a date of 29th September sound? Maybe the weekend after that? Someone at Datchet wanna borrow a RIB for the day, and get some photos of this for an unoficial "boat test" ? |

finally got round to repairing the 300... after removing the cover, looking at the front end of the boom i notice a pair of black eyes and nose poking out of it, looking down the boom from the back i realise that it is indeed a mouse...
several minutes of trying to get it to come out Villan come over to see what the fuss is all about and starts tapping the boom ![]() to all animal lovers, the mouse DID survive even after it jumped a foot from the boat to the ground and was chased by Villan into a hedge |

Cheeky little blighter wanted to go and hide in the building! Theres sails in there!
Mouse + Sails = Insurance claim! My tapping of the boom was only to try and get it to poke out one end of the other so we could see how big it was. You could see its silhouette down the boom, but it looked pretty big. Turned out to be about an inch and a half. And in reply to the topic itself, I wasn't out this weekend as such. We were going to change the centerboard of the Fireball ( Current one is cracking ) ... but .. umm .. after 20 mins spent taking the old one out, the spare that came with the boat is not only 4 inches shorter ... its about 1/4th an inch wider! Darn thing wouldnt fit down the slot!! So we are going back down tomorow, armed with a powersander, some marine filler, sanding blocks, lots of sandpaper, and primer. Yes, thats right .. We are going to bodge the old board back together! Might attack it with a thin layer of fibreglass in the worst places. |

Jeffers - We got the old one out fine, it was the new one going in that had the problems.
We are going to try and renovate the old one tomorow, as we are off to Datchet next weekend, and the South Cerney open the weekend after. |
