Richardsons RC45 and RC35

[C.Ricko]

you will see the last layer of fiberglass was pigmented this is just to make it look a little bit nicer

Hi Col,

This is the only reason

[C.Ricko]

Hi Neil,

Sorry, I missed your reply, we will start shortening the plug next week then make that mould before starting the 45' superstructure.

I recon the reason the Aston mould was in bits was as it was extendable and also easier to store inside the hull.

our mould will be in one piece with a few moulds for hatches canopy etc.

Clive will you be putting little fancy blue LED lights outside the boat that come on as soon as the sun goes down to catch people attention to the boat & company who made it.

Jonny! It's a beautiful boat, not a 1ltr Fiat Punto with a bean can exhaust

Glad to see there is some sophistication on this forum Jimbo

whatever next? outward facing speakers so everyone can appreciate your music?

Now there's an idea

good grief jonny,

I have some embarracing repettive music in my record boxes from the past but that is awful, If I ever have that dream where I am falling down a spiral I suspect the first few seconds of that will be playing over and over again, that has really upset me that I have had to hear that music in my own house I will probably have trouble sleaping.

The other photo shows the mould when we pulled it out of the shed It seems much bigger in the open

Phew, it does fit through the shed door then

Is all the white stuff surrounding it GRP shavings??

we were dredging your mooring before the digger broke! will be continuing on Monday, we did not find your cap!

(I did have a look for it when you lost it, I did find a fishing net though )

The big(ish) tree was going to fall on your boat!

Here you go Andy,

These thread drifts really annoy me I recon if you condensed this thread down to posts about our new boat then we would struggle to fill a couple of pages

Nice to see, You couldn't see your way to doing Heigham Sound could you?

Just where do you out the spoil btw?

we own the land round the basins so we put it where we want,

A good incentive for everyone to pay their mooring fees on time no doubt!

Now.. back to the exciting subject.... any news/updates on the new boat?

Dan

[C.Ricko]

we got the mould out of the shed on monday and got ready for lifting it off the plug, we were prepared for a little hastle in getting it off but after a wwhole day of knocking lifting and swearing there was no movement whatsoever the hull sides have released all along but the hull bottom is stuck fast

Today we started to remove the section of plug from inside the mould, the keel and hull sides have come out ok but the bottom is not releasing as it should, we are prepareing to cut the plug out in bits and make the shorter hull mould another time

however this will mean that we can start on the superstructure as soon as the mould is sorted

[mbird]

Oooh thats not good news Clive

[Guest]

Hi Clive

what about putting some hot soapy water down the sides just might give it a little help

Jonny

[C.Ricko]

Dont worry Rod, The bad weather is nearly over

[Guest DAYTONA-BILL]

Hi Clive, does the release agent have an operating time limit, or temperature limit which may have affected its performance due to the serious weather we`ve recently had?. When we bond brackets or other things to panels, we use grease or tallow as a release agent to stop the screws sticking in the anchor nuts, and very occaisionally they can be a bit stubborn, so we introduce a little heat to warm up the release agent. Jonnys idea of hot soapy water may not be a bad idea after all?. Regards to all.............. Neil.
