Rivet Gun? Moi?
Rivet guns are for Northerners aren't they? Why would I ever want a rivet gun? I'm far to Sophisticated a Southerner to own anything as blue collar as a rivet gun - they make your hands dirty for a start, I've seen people under cars with them haven't I ? I don't know what it's for, it's blathering on about 'joiner sleeves' this is crew stuff, this singlehanded sailing's not all it's cracked up to be, I had to lift the boat off its trailer the other day on my own ffs.. Rivet Gun Whatever next. |

What is it for Grumpf??? I'm sure you have a rivet gun, but what about those people who don't?? I'd bin it pal, if it were that important it would have been a recall!!

Thank you Jim - good idea..
I may even despatch said craft, kit and one of the daughters of darkness so instructed.. Having said that, the drink buying route is probably cheaper.. |

v. Take it to the next/first RS100 open meeting and smile at someone until they do the mod for you.
However this technique works best if you are young, female and pretty, so if you fail on all three you may have to resort to buying drinks, which is very nearly as effective. |

This morning, arrived an envelope containing a plastic bag filled with a
drill bit, three rivets and two bits of plastic, claiming to be a Mast retrofit for the RS100. Accompanied by unintelligible instructions presumably aimed at the IKEA flatpack competent folk of this world which I fear I aint.. So what should I do? i) Ignore it and hope whatever it is isn't fatal.. ii) Keep it in desk drawer promising oneself to really try and work it out someday.. iii) Bin it. iv) Sell the boat just in case it's something serious.. |
