The whole thing has been done seemingly behind closed doors and it seems very likely to me that like politics and so man...

I used a jet washer on my Pilot Dory but it couln't shift the antifouling on it's own other than the oldest flakiest bits. These came of all over my front lawn and it took 6months for the grass to recover! Even that was only after I litterally hoovered up every last flake. My gardener wasnt happy......

Have a look at this website/product. I just typed "antifouling stripper" into Google and found all sorts of stuff tucked in amongst the strippogram ads! http://www.biowash.com/products/product.php?pid=34 "RemovALL 610 is a solvent type I think and I have no experience of it but most o...

Garry, What a storming lille boat! An absolute terrier I would say. Was there such a thing as a "Chichester One Design?" It doesn't look one bit like an International twelve which has a rounded stem and a Bow thwart behind a Lug rigged mast set forward in the boat. It also seems to have qh...

This thread seems to be getting a bit crowded and Ive rather gone off the original subject of Spinaker poles. I thought it will be easier if I move all my chat about Blue Moon to a new thead. "MY 14 FOOT DINGHY "BLUE MOON." I'll try to get some pictures posted up there as well. Bye fo...
