Sorry to be a nag but now we are into the Gill series summer break are we likley to see the results up on the website?  As a member of the AC brigade I am of course interested in these standings also.

As I am planning to make the trek up form essex this weekend, I wondered what was the condition of the field for camping?

Or will we be floating the boat in it?

I am planning to travel friday night, leaving about 4pm.  Estimate arrival at 9pm.  Will i be able to get the boat into the club?

Could anyone tell me when the gill Series results are going to be updated?

The overall results only show the Bristol event.

Have had serious lifting of the varnish in avery limited area on the decks around the shrouds.  This I have removed and I now have an area approx. 6" square of bare wood whilst the rest of the deck is an absolutley perfect finish.

How can I repair this area to blend it in with the rest of the decks?

Should I coat with west epoxy first (as the decks were done with before by the previous owner) or should I build up with varnish in this area first before recoating the whole deck.

Any advice would be gratefully recieved as I am loath to strip the decks completely.

With the dark winter nights approaching, 2.5kg of redundent wood removed from inside Fuzzy Duck and plenty of varnishing ahead

Don''t worry Jerry said I could take it out, he built it so I trust him, untill the first screaming reach that is, then we will find out if I need a new hull!!

Any way back to the original thread.  I intend this winters project to be a carbon rudder.  Back in the 80's, yes I am that old, we used to make the cores of our rudders from balsa wood.

Is this still the case!  Most of the carbon manufacturing I am experienced with are thin panels and this uses foam cores.

What shouild I be looking to use for the core of my rudder, that will give me the strength and lightness I need.

I look forward to some of the secrets to be revealed.

Just my luck!!

After 6 months of asking every n12 sailor I meet if they have a reassonable second hand set of sails and checking the forum every day, i go away for 1 weekend and what happens?

A set comes up and is sold in the day!!??!!??** ??)

Is there anyone else out there with a second hand set for sail?

Surely all you fast yachters have ordered your new sails to the new rules by now?

Take pitty on a 'poor' N12 sailor who needs newer Mylar/Kevlar sails.

Have a small pot of gold avialable.
