BrundallNavy Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 This weekend was supposed to be launch weekend but my roof rack doesn’t fit my current car, Halfords don’t yet stock the fitting kits so I had to bite the bullet and order one from BMW.

How you going to get it out of the conservatory? We learnt this week that Gibbs has an old coal scuttle, personally I`m not convinced that is the way he got the boats out.

BrundallNavy Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 While I was on a roll Nipper’s Nipper was long over due some tlc and had suffered some damage around 18 months ago. The inside was not too bad so a rub down with 320 grit and two coats of varnish applied. The outside was getting quite bad so strip back to the wood and 6 coats of Ravilakk followed by 4 coats of Brava. The small hole was cut back to 3mm thick (half the plank width) then a small patch glued in with epoxy this needed to be flush with the plank as sanding would go through the veneer, the grain sadly does not match but once the rope fendering Is fitted should not be too noticeable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 He's chuffin showing off yet again, that's what it is. What with his exemplary canoe building skills, first class varnishing and now graphic applicating Is there no end to this mans talents?

AndyTBoater Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Nipper alert!! Just seen her trundling through Wroxham Bridge, flotilla of little nippers in tow, looking gorgeous in the early afternoon sun. Lots of admiring comments from all the punters standing around eating chips and feeding the " big white ducks" I am now massively envious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
