Great stuff.

The old carpet and wooden blocks on my trolley cradle have had their day.

My current plans are to lay up something on the bottom of the boat with camping mat foam / pipe lagging foam  / glass / epoxy etc. Any suggestions on materials and techniques would be welcome.

For anyone keeping an eye on this, Look like things are hotting up.

Mad people. One way of keeping crew weight down

Has anyone sucessfully replaced the seals in an Anderson Super Max bailer?

Is it possible to do this without removing the whole thing from the hull or does refitting the rivets between the two flanges make this impossible?

Any pictures of one disassembled would help. Thanks.

I have just taken my recently purchased 12 out for the first time in very light winds. Apart from problems with the rudder springing off and self bailers that leak it was a good sail.
One problem I had was in flicking over the top batten. Any suggestions as to which technique works best in these conditions?
