Of course you can! at the moment it is in storage in the outlaws' garage, waiting for me to have my op, and then it will have a little light restoration before it hits the water - well in time for the Hunts open!

Right, having been told how to post it in another thread, here's what House's Guide to Dinghies 1970 had to say:
 After that, a bigger sail was introduced - presumably on the same spars (I remember thinking it loked very low aspect ratio). According to someone who owned and sailed a later boat, it was a bit of a beast in some conditions! ------------- http://www.wilsoniansc.org.uk" rel="nofollow - Wilsonian SC http://www.3000class.org.uk" rel="nofollow - 3000 Class |

Hmm, that's given me a name idea for my boat when it's done, I could call it Graeme's Amazing Yacht.. ------------- https://www.ease-distribution.com/" rel="nofollow - https://www.ease-distribution.com/ |

Now there's a term you don't hear much these days.. VD, it's all STI's.. Good Idea though I doubt there'd be many who 'get' it. (Er the idea I mean)  ------------- https://www.ease-distribution.com/" rel="nofollow - https://www.ease-distribution.com/ |

We had an international moth and when I sanded off the paint it had been called, "Light and Strong for Extra satisfaction". No SDI's there then. ------------- tickel |
