If you can provide a dxf file of the outline (with all entities joined!) it wouldn't take long to cut the outline with a CNC plasma machine.It gets a bit more challenging when you need the edges cut...

The blue foam mentioned in post #9 may well be this stuff.

I regard Jamesie Cotter as one of the best comic creations of the last forty years.

The OP seems to have gone very quiet in the last couple of days.I do hope for his sake that he hasn't decided to ignore the advice offered here because the seller says "Its nothing".If it really was...

It isn't too hard to peel glass tape that has been laminated with polyester resin.Fortunately this kind of loading is rarely applied while sailing.

Much closer to being a functioning boat now.My choice of colour would e something highly visible from a distance,just in case......

Have a great day and try to keep the next 364 equally wonderful.

Not to mention most of East Anglia.

Be cautious with the heat gun.If the paint isn't actually flaking off,you may not need to do anything as radical as stripping it.A good sanding to key the surface for a fresh coat may be...

Even that didn't go to plan,my new passport is black.It reminds me to mourn what we lost,as if I needed to.

After an Elva and a Lola we might as well have a Chevron B70.I think they must turn up at just about every circuit in the uk at some time of the year and in various categories.

That has all the hallmarks of a neglected boat.Unless a reliable surveyor gives it the OK you should walk away,or even run away.I've witnessed several instances of enthusiastic amateur restorers...

I may well be wrong but I have a strong feeling that the curve of areas will be much fuller at the stern.Which makes me imagine a lot of green water climbing over the bow,unless a bit more flare is...

It may save you a bit of work if you don't rebate the edges of the washboards.A bevel is quite sufficient and only needs to run downhill n the aft face.A folding stay on the hinged hatch might be...

Its even longer since we had a Ballot.

Trevor Fiore,now there's a name that rung bells.

Excellent advice on the process and the correct size clearance holes.

Over here we would look on this Osprey on it's trailer as nothing out of the ordinary,LOA is 17'6".

Hopefully,at this point,you will have picked up one of the less severe variants.You may be lucky enough to have a light infection for a day or two,let's hope so.

I find it hard to believe that nobody else watched "the Graduate".

I don't remember an Elva appearing previously and they used to be a very popular racer.

Do you ever wonder whether in the translation from the original language there might have been the odd occasion when a slightly ambiguous piece of writing was translated to the advantage of the sect...

Having put in more than 2000 slot head screws in a single day with a pump screwdriver,I don't see a problem with only 100 or so,but it isn't my project.Silicon bronze has never been cheap or easy to...

It may be a bit late to get concerned abut the frames not lining up and it won't make any practical difference anyway.The mast step moving around is a cause for concern and needs to be fixed.I would...

I agree about epoxy and not only for these reasons.One of the standard methods of breaking an epoxy bond is to heat it to 95 deg C and molten lead is well above this temperature.I wouldn't be too...

The plastic universal joints are simple and reliable.What you may need to do is to use a tubular tiller extension or an adaptor with a tubular end section.I use a similar joint,with a braided line...

I've never made a plywood mould for casting lead and can't therefore give a definitive answer.My instinct is that the glue in ordinary plywood may not be all that great and may well give out before...

As the old saw goes over here-"If all the economists in the world were laid end to end,they still wouldn't reach a conclusion".

Were it not for that final image I might have thought it was a John Dory.

My understanding is that the material for the andillette originates quite a way "downstream" of the tripe and picks up the nasty odour from what is close to the exit.

I wish we had a decisive Prime Minister like that,actually a functioning Prime Minister would be quite nice at the moment.Even then I don't suppose anything much would happen because the government...

I don't remember an Isuzu featuring on this thread previously and this one is from the late 1960's.

Oysters,andouilette sausage and haggis are on the list of things I don't feel any need to sample again.Tripe I don't mind occasionally and whelks with garlic mayonnaise were surprisingly good.

It gives the lie to the notion of honour among thieves.

Bumping this thread because I found a link to a good obituary https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/obituaries/playboy-racer-with-a-love-for-le-mans-alain-de-cadenet-obituary .The Elvis link...

Cam cleats!

Do you need a hatstand?

Some good points in Edward's post.A good number of professional finishers over here use 2 pack and spray it.A look at the wooden decks of some of the boats at the annual dinghy show soon indicates...

A light shower began about an hour ago,first rain for six weeks or so.Some of the region's farms are in the middle of the grain harvest so it won't please everybody.

We lost.Just how badly is becoming apparent,even if we had a notion that it wouldn't be good.

I haven't used google,but I have a feeling the answer is 95 feet.

They went on to do far worse....

Getting under there to put the screws in might be challenging.A bit of creativity with rebated cleats and maybe turnbuttons might be another solution worth investigating.

This might have been an improvement on the original.

If they are willing to pay me the $100K,I'll make sure it isn't seen again.It would be a public service.
