surely an I14 boom would be the most similar boom to start from?

I would just like to say that
Dan is a very decent bloke. Never met him, but nice offer. Helping the elderly like that. It's what "big society" is all about I shall email David Cameron immediately so he can pop this up at the conference. ;-) |

Pierre! Where have you been hiding that? Humour.. It's actually humour, have you been sailing on the sea and caught it? Dan is not a decent bloke Dan is the clumsy cack handed muppet that broke the damn boom in the first place. Dan breaks everything Dan touches, he's gotten through more boats, booms, masts, racks & sails in the short time (relatively)I've known him than the entire club put together in a ten year period. Dan made the term 'Desperate' redundant very early on. Now he's offered however, I shall almost certainly take him up on it, it'll be useful field experience for his remedial course at retarded engineer school.

Actually graeme, all i have broken over the last 5 years is: 1 poorly made hull, 1 mast, 1 boom, 1 wing, 1 daggerboard.
Not too bad i think considering some of the condidions I have been known to venture out in. I will start trying to sort you out a boom. Dan |

Right thanks Dan here's what I want. I want it made of carbon yet painted red. It must come with a 'mind your head' sticker on both sides plus a 'this side up' as a reminder to some of the dimmer crew types I have to deal with these days. Port and Starboard stickers might not go amiss either. I'd like you to use your Engineering talent to rig some sort of auto kicker sensing device so the kicker adjusts itself automatically without my crew risking breaking her fingernail(s) and whilst your at it the same could possibly apply to the outhaul tension. A mirror attachment and/or video mount might also be useful so we can view the truly wondrous thing that is us in action. It would also be useful if a footplate could be fitted, I have on occasion found it useful to stand on it when the boat inadvertently falls onto its side, maybe even some steps, to assist one 'ahem' challenged vertically to mount the gunwhale whilst keeping ones feet dry. I'm happy to provide a more than adequate budget £5 10s 6d or current equivalent.

So that would be about £56 then in current money
(might just be enough money if you invested it in the 1600s)
Can Dan just provide you with Port and Port stickers. Edited by Andrewst - 06 Oct 10 at 9:38am |

Dan, I'd STFU if I were you.
That adds up to an entire boat you have trashed. I still stand by what I said though. Graeme.... you STFU as well. ![]() |

He omitted to mention the sails he introduced his head or other equally un attractive body parts through.
