Re: magnum 8 info

my experience says just do what you have to do then sail it. soemthing else will then break, so you repair it, then sail it, soemthing else will then break ....not worth doing the full restoration.. nessa isnt that what moth sailing is about or comes hand in hand you sail it, you break it, you fix ...

Re: Low rider moth fest.

Ahhh, didn't come off for me as there was a bit too much work involved (that the bloke selling didn't know about). You could contact the seller for some pics of the hole (about 3-4inch sq) where the son had started a repair, and probably get it quite a bit cheaper than I bid, if you're interested.....
