This convinces me that my marauder is the worst restoration attempt known to mankind.
I'm failry sure the floorboards are not plywood (we have ply ones in the club boats) I will have a look when I'm there tomorrow. We definitely thought them worth saving at the time, even though we didn't know what we were saving them for. I am just outside Cambridge. |

WI,
I'd definitely be interested if there the original slatted type floorboards and they are in good condition. Where about are you? Us GP restorer's are all over so I can put the word out if you want to get rid of them. Normally the original slatted mahogany board ones are in demand as it was a common upgrade to swap for plywood so most of the old ones where tossed. Regrds Kev |

reality is a shed that just and just fits the phantom inside it, with a little space down one side for me to get up and down. Two old school style cupboard-lockers at one end, turned on their side and full of sails with a hideous array of old boat bits strewn over the top.
and no, no garden related items allowed! Kev, somewhere at the club there are also the floorboards from the old boat we dismantled. They are quite nice, so if you're ever down this way. .... The cvrda is a caring, sharing group; come and join us! |

Boat shed - vision is some massive dry storage for nessa to refit her boats reality is probably a normal garden shed that has no garden related items in it. Well Done Nessa for the donation to a great project. |

Thanks Roger for the encouragement. Who knows, we are building up a bit of the following with old Gp14's, sail numbers under 100. More and more boats are coming up all he time (number 3 has just surfaced) .We had a rally this year and hopefully it will become an annual event.

Kfz,
Good to see you taking her on. If you want any advice or support go to the cvrda website(www.cvrda.org). We are devoted to bringing these boat out of th sheds and dinghy parks and getting them sailing again. we even handicap boats according to age and originality so extra pointsfor the wooden mast and cotton spinney. Maybe she will be the 2011 winner of the cotton sail challenge..
Keep us posted on progress with mre pics please. cant wait to see her sailing again.
