CVRDA

Due to a busy summer and waiting the delights of the NHS there will be a big space at Clywedog as the Witt/McDermott Behemoth tent and associated annexes will be staying in Devon

Can we all calm down. Either keep on topic or go and post to Sailing Anarchy. For the final time, there is no East/South split. Take your personal beefs with each other away from the forum. If you truely want to contribute to the CVRDA then get involved with this thread http://cvrda.org/community/vi...

Prolube and a sliding seat is a right of passage. In the days when a number of us were sailing ICs I used prolube on the carriage to make the seat slide a bit better, but over cooked it somewhat and sprayed it on the seat - resulting in me sliding off the end. One occasion the boat crossed the finis...

Can we keep this thread on topic. Can I remind posters that the CVRDA is a broad church, please respect others opinions and do not shout as this will earn you a visit to the naughty step.

I was indeed involved in with the PlaneSail Trimaran when the company moved to Plymouth, I started off working there over one summer working on the Planesail tooling, and ended up taking a year out to work in the de...

Like Rupert I ended up in Falmouth to get an education, but had a few bonuses such as working with Ralph Bird for a while (lots of evenings learning Cornish gig building), raci...

Rather than an epoxy bodge (remind me to avoid Norfolk boatyards :wink: ) It might be worth having a look at this thread. http://cvrda.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1970&p=15988&hilit=veneer+repair#p15988 There are a few of us who have done similar repairs, it can be fiddly but the ...
