Thats her back at the friends homestead (they've a nice powered outbuildong I'm getting to use). 
Some refurb of the deck and lines is in order with plans to be back on the water in time for the Andrew Simpson memorial

Got a week in Poole coming up as part of my lifeboat training. 
 
Anybody familiar wih the area, whats worth seeing/doing in the evenings?

Thanks for this guys. 
The paint will wait till winter, I'm not that fussed and it isn't in bad knick. 
What's really needed are transom flaps, rigging (although I think getting time to figure out the old layout and whats supoosed to be attached where may do), buoyancy bags and a trolley are first priority.

How can you tell 2 pack from 1 pack. Does that sanding theory apply for a colour change?

Hi guys, after having bought 3106 from a guy in our club she has lain belly up on some tyres, rubbish cover and no trolley, as I mess about as crew on an Albacore. I had every intemtion of taking 3106 home over the winter and taking care of the tlc so she was good for this season, but college and part time job have left me with Sundays free, which are of course sailing days. 
So as the college holidays approach I am planing the refurb. As far as I can tell it is 'merely' re rigging, new buoyancy bags & dangly pole. She seems fine if a wee bit scruffy. 
A few questions. 
To repaint would you completely remove old or just key old surface?
How much does a N12 worth of lines cost?

Hi Guys. I'm looking for some homebrewed solutions? My 12 is sitting in the boatyard for the winter, the problem is that no more ground anchor points remain. I have been thinking of filling a bucket with old weights and concrete with an eye bolt out of the top with which to secure a ratchet strap. 
 
What do you/have you done if in a similar position? I'm in a windy spot in the highlands and need a secure solution.

Bought for £200.
