Bit late reading this post but as my TOY would not be the most suitable, pending work commitments assuming I actually have a job I was going to make Roger the offer he already seems to be suggesting!! pick something Merlin shaped out of the shed!

Re: Repainting Fibreglass? ToY 76
Found a reasonable compromise I think.
1 part marine paint.
Just ordered some hempel undercoat and topcoat, 1 tin of each should just give enough for 2 coats of each.
Affordable, and reasonably durable, she doesn't really need the high class 2 part systems!

Re: Tony Allen and the TOY dinghy
I see you now have an IC Neil, I can see the toy being a sliding seat intro and the canoe being to place to end up!!
thanksfully I happen to know a very competent boat builder who can help me give the boat a thorough MOT this winter!!

Re: Tony Allen and the TOY dinghy
Thanks Rupert, I want to continue my research maybe find out how many were made and what year mine is. What number did you have Rupert? I think next I want to see if I can find any articles in 'The yachting World' about the competition which may show all the boats put forward for trials. Anyone have...

I sent an email to the MD at Allen fittings who passed it on to Tony Allen, who sent me a delightful email explaining how it all came about. Here's Tony's Story which could perhaps be used to update the TOy page on the ...
