Hi Roger tried it out on the Nacra. Works on unloaded areas to a certain degree. Super glue thin seems to work better. I normally run in super glue and then when set some crack cure. Super glue is I think not waterproof?

Hi Guys
We used to use furniture polish on the hornet seats. I also used to use pledge on the foredeck and tern decks before a Championship for that beautiful finish everyone admires

Hi Mark I'm well aware of the boats you sail and and would certainly not expect you to sail them at MSC nor people with similar boats, horse for courses. As I said at the begining I'm not worried by the numbers and neither are the club as we combined the event with a Dart Open held out side the Soun...
