Contender443 would recommend duct tape, but I'm a Superglue girl. Others are cable ties addicts... What's your choice, Isis? 



Nope, its work all this weekend to fund the bit after the demolition
more planned the weekend after though, I have a snout to get rid of and im still toying with the idea of loosing the foredeck

Top of my santa letter is actualy a 12ft skiff no2 rig... no superglue to be found but a bit further down is a new belt sander and router

Contender443 is a man after my own heart, If it cant be fixed with ductape: just walk away...
Im not a big cable-tie fan myself, though they have their uses (g'mornin!) but superglue? whats that all about?

Some people have funny habits...   Still, whatever floats your boat.  Probably as effective as Viagra

Unfortunately the more sane side of my brain agreed with you and I bottled it when it came to taking the grinder to the snout/foredeck.

I made up for it on the rest of the boat though, kickbars, fitting mounts... all gone 
MUHAHAHAHA!!

Aha! I've found the Contender aaaaaages ago, but she's in a chain. Her current owner, a respectable member of LSC, is trying to find a newer model. Until he's found a replacement, I can only hope...

Still, he said he'll tidy her up for me during the winter, repaint her if he's got the time and he's let me sail her several times... I just need to be patient until the sailing season starts again!
