Whatever it is, it is really, really ugly

Hi Nessa,

it is a Snark, initially called a Sea Snark, then later a Super Snark. This rebranding was touched upon in a previous thread where it was christened a "New Labour Snark".

One Snark is enough even for me, and that one looks like it has the pox...
I'll need to replace the mast thwart in mine this winter - do you think it will be a long and tricky job?

[Nigel]

How does the thwart attach to the polystyrene hull? That would seem to be the tricky bit. Is there enough good thwart to attach a second thwart to and avoid the problem?
