Project finished.
The original plan didn't include carbon spars or fibre-lay sails but Des would probably be sweet with it.... Probably.....

At least with composite amas (regardless of weight) there's 66% less chance of Timberwolf retaining the nicname 'WoodenDog'
Sorry

We could have a thread where people can post pictures of their upside down multi. I've got a nice sequence on mine coming back up! It's pretty much a fact of racing a raft. At some point you're going to flip it.
Its not the ideal time to be making comments such as these.
Fair call, and I know how you feel as I've been there with my GBE. Just fix it up and carry on. At least not being on your boat at the time, you escape with only material damage and no long term worries about pushing the boat hard again. But the chance of having a swim at some point is high. To argue that it's never going to happen is a bit unrealistic. Much like racing motorbikes and being completely confident about not falling off. Which is possible, if you're slow and safe, or very very talented. Take Rossi for example. TW and Rossi both had a very good run till the other week.

I'm in the process of getting the Townson 2.4 dinghy back into working order and would like replace the rig and sails. The ones I have are obviously not to the original plan. If anyone has a sail plan drawing I could get some measurements from, this would make life a lot easier. Normally Allan Hooper would be the man, but he's in OZ currently and doesn't have access to his records for the boat.
Anyone able to help?

Yeah, the Young is still hanging out in the back yard. Just building a tent over her so the real work can begin!
The Townson goes for it's first sail in the morning... Should be a little machine!
