I made it !! 8 weeks of solid work in front of my computer had left gaping voids in the family wardrobes. I have just fought my way back from the Kilimandjaro of ironing, only to organise a Christmas party for LSC little ones. They had a Santa Hunt (from my private collection - nothing saucy before you start sniggering), face-painting, games, food and presents. Now that's done, I am facing a whole weekend without anything planned at all for the first time since early March. Can't stand this idleness and uncertainty.... Suggestions, anyone? ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

That seems a bit extreme Isis. Welcome back BnS Another suggestion come and do the Grand Prix at Grafham on New Years Day!!! Not sure whos going to make it sober Have you found your Contender yet ?you could spend hours searching all the mags and sites for one ! ------------- 49er 531 & 5000 5025 and a mirror(now gone to mirror heaven)! http://www.grafham.org/" rel="nofollow - Grafham water Sailing Club The greatest inland sailing in the country |

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! ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

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!! ------------- |

So, Isis... Are you getting ready for another weekend of demolition? What's at the top of your letter to Santa? An industrial-size drum of Superglue?? Contender443 would recommend duct tape, but I'm a Superglue girl. Others are cable ties addicts... What's your choice, Isis? ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

| I never go to far without some sp106 with fast hardener and some kevlar tape. Great for serious emergency repairs... The rudder fitting I did like that has lasted ten years... |

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?  ------------- |
