Well i have finally got round to it, not too neatly i may add as i just used paint pens, but the dinghy has its new name - Skogkatt (fairy cat from norse mythology)
well I already have made 2 hulls in that design, maybe I should try and take a mould off of them and do as the original did to become the bourne 40 moulds.
much as I would love to (and could have added another 20 odd stone) I am not headed up until Tuesday, plus I have a prior engagement teaching kids astronomy tonight so wont even make the quiz. good luck in the venture and I am sure you will succeed.
just wondering how under stress of weather can be defined, cant get under the bridge because of the tides- is that stress of weather? too wet? too hot? I can see that if that definition isnt clarified, then under stress of weather is a bit open ended and open to argumentative interpretation, that the courts might just throw out if it got that far.
I once had a VW Variant, this had a petrol version of the old eberspachier heating, not that I would reccomend that as I once saw a variant catch fire when the heater wasnt maintained well, I too would go for the option mentioned above with a seperate deisel tank, that way you would be able to fill that deisel tank with red deisel at the reduced red price rather than the 60/40 split price they currently supply where you are taxed for 60% propulsion use (it looks like the laws may be changing to warrant this anyway)
remember they all go through Potter Heigham Bridge, I took Judith through wroxham at 6 foot 6 and had a good clearance to spare all round, at 7 foot it felt like there was a good 18"
but what about the staithes above the extents of tidal waters, do you want those maintained too , eg catfield dyke, the rivers through wroxham and up to Coltishall, if you limit it to tidal waters, a lot of the prettiest scenery will be lost.
That makes so much sense, I have always wondered why most wooden cruisers have a tall stool for the steering position, and that answers the puzzle nicely
well it just goes to show, I must remember to wear my hat at all times at the meet, if only to prove to Gracie that anyone in a hat must be one of your friends Tim.
when are you back on board, I am headed up to pick up Jayne from Martham next Tuesday, and probably heading south straight away.
Alan, I do the same, I make a cauliflower cheese, 1 cauliflower does me enough to do a side to 4 meals (or even a main plus 3 sides), the days portion getting thrown in the oven in a small oven proof dish for the time it takes to cook the sausages or chicken kiev or whatever else I am having to warm it up again.
