I think there are quite a few people that would disagree with that statement, but what the hell, I sleep well at night.

The biggest holdup is caused by suppliers, and the customer making decisions. My numerous holidays don't help either apparently!!

I'm off to Madeira in a week, going Saga coz of me age

Here's a sneaky pic of the rib, just before Paul Tilley took it away for toobing!

wasting time

Actually Tony,

you do seem to jog along at a fair pace. I see why you refer to this game as your hobby. Coz, if this was your proffesion, you'd just talk a good game, spend most of your time stairing at the moulds and never return calls to any prospective customers enquiries

its ok everybody, the bitterness is starting to wear off!

rib looks another fine job, makes you realise how puny they are without tooobs.

BTW just read the above, none of that aimed at tony, incase it sounded that way!

Foredeck stiffening over laminated. Next job is to pull the mouldings, trim & join them and then laminate them together.

I am Serious

This is a serious question I'm not taking the piss.......Thought it best to get that out of the way!

Your engine bearers look like they are made out of half inch marines ply (13mm to you non Saga people) how much engine (s) will this support. Does a lot of glass go over to make it stronger

Poor old fella, they say it's the eye's that fail first, but I sometimes think it's the brain!!!

The engine beds are made from 2 x 18mm marine ply, bonded together with 2 x 450gm csm. They are then overlaminated with 3 x 450gm csm and 2x 425+425+300 combi. They end up being approx 2" thick and pretty strong!!

Thanks for the education Would it be safe to call that an 'Advanced Laminating Technique'

No buddy. actually I rarely drink it's just when I start i don't like to stop and theres always some rsole with a digi cam and an enema syringe waiting for me to flake out.

The reason why I asked Tony if it was an advanced laminating technique is that is an expression often used by Falcon
