Hey and just as I was wondering what a waste it was chain sawing up Toppers, when we should be filling them with concrete, flipping them upside down and securing them just below the low watermark.
Foil fun

Seems to me that you have up-cycled a Laser as a sub-surface water feature come reef.

One down just under 200000 to go!

Raised the hull today, dragging it very publically slowly onto land with a pulley system as it drained. Because of language problems a tourist couldn't be discouraged from helping - he grabbed the rope to help me pull it and looked stunned when he found the weight to be 500 kg rather than 65 kg. But his wife was greatly entertained! The refloating took over an hour and the hull got bashed about. All in all, sink-storing of a Laser is doable but impractical. Have a good weekend, everybody!

I concur.... the maddest thing on this forum since the V-Twin and when Luca lost the plot.

Just looking at the state of the underside of marker bouys tells me that sailing this boat isn't going to be pleasant, especially if you have an elongated break.

Don't forget to pack the jet washer when you next go sailing!

Nice to know Care in the Community is alive & well in Malta. Please call your Laser "The Black Pearl", just for me.

Hurrah, I take this as concrete proof that I am still "young".

Did anyone see you? I would have felt too embarrassed.


I have been reliably informed Wink  that once you get past a certain age you don't actually worry too much about things like that.
