Proper boat? That must be the corner of the Wayfarer?
(No pictures of my new boat: I was expecting to pick it up this weekend, but I have just been told it wont be ready until mid-March. That is VERY close to the first Open Meetings that we have planned...). |

I have given up trying to buy a decent second hand contender and have instead ordered a complete carbon upgrade! I am VERY excited about this and there will definitely be pics when it arrives! (Unfortunately after the first open at Datchet, but hey, you can't have everything and I can't sail at the moment anyway) |

Welcome to the carbon age. Start saving now and buy yourself a new hull next year from Germany - much cheaper than the UK builder. Getting mine in a few weeks. ------------- Bonnie Lass Contender 1764 |

Do they make contenders in carbon now, i thought it was only the mast and boom? ------------- RS600 988 |

It is just the mast and boom. The hull is still in more traditional materials. The funny thing is you can use expoxy to build a wooden boat but not a glass one. All boats are generally built under weight and carry a maximum of 6kg of correctors. The carbon rig saves a few kilograms of overall weight. ------------- Bonnie Lass Contender 1764 |

Nice job Jim... If you don't like the shade of blue, you could add stripes.... Or flames.... It is awfully... blue....

Something is likely to be added... When I can remeber how to sail again I want to send her to a competent painter (ie not me) for a better finish (and more than one coat of top coat on the hull) and subsequent to that there may well be something else going on... My original idea was for fadeing in stripes going down the foredeck and onto the topside something like the stripes on a perch, but it looked dreadful in photoshop so I ditched the idea... |

You should have got me to paint it... Then the paint would have fallen orf in about a month anyway....  ------------- Ex-Finn GBR533 "Pie Hard" Ex-National 12 3253 "Seawitch" Ex-National 12 2961 "Curved Air" Ex-Mirror 59096 "Voodoo Chile" |
