I can see where this is going, There is a wonderful reply to the fungus But I'm really trying hard to restrain myself.

Lent me angle grinder to a bird once and she never brought it back !!!! said it worked a treat though

See the problem with being a decripid old fart is the pounding from a Mono when pushed hard, Multihulls are much softer and just twist your neck off..


Gonna have a dig and post some more retro pics later

Thats enough for tonight scanner is getting all warm and melting.

I was the johnny that liked the cat, Phantom owners couldn't stand the speed increase (joke)

I must dig out the the pic where some bugger dropped the Passerelle just as I was going by on a jet ski. Squadron 59 won by technical knockout final score was (1) to Farline Johnny BluFin (0).

I assume that most of those cats where plywood & balsa.......maybe laminated afterwards?

Would it have been common place to just DIY or would the majority have been designs from a repuatible stable and home built?

I think "Robin Hood" is well Funky in a retro kinda way:tu:
