Whats the point in taking a roll of ductape if you dont use it for the most obvious of jobs... securing your roll of ductape! 

Top tip is to remove the cardboard tube from the middle for greater weight-saving and storage possibilities..

Get one of those Helium balloon machines, and fill the bouyancy tanks with Helium, its lighter than normal air so might knock the weight of the boat down slightly.

(make sure you get decent hatch covers and bungs first )

I feel so betrayed!
It not an adiction anyway! I know when to put the grinder down!... for those small, hard to reach places a jigsaw is far more suitable

anyone has a new suggestion for Isis's boat? (please don't mention bungs or hatches, he's lost the pieces in the sandpit or behind his bed...) 



Anyone who can come up with something sailing related that I HAVNT considered putting on my boat deserves a serious medal...

how many bungs does a cherub have? cos the way it is written it sounds like more than one, it may just be me


How much wood can a wood chopper chop?

Mind you, you've in the right class for you. Cherubs are like Meccano: when you're fed up with a model, you take it apart and build another one.

I was Meccano-deprived as a child; anyone has a new suggestion for Isis's boat? (please don't mention bungs or hatches, he's lost the pieces in the sandpit or behind his bed...)
