There are property forums????

Fascinating. I was about to comment that this forum wouldn't affect anything, but that post has me reconsidering. I am now officially uncertain.

You can't have mine, it's not for sale.

I think MB is describing me

You also need to consider societal changes since the 70's. The rich have got richer , the poor have got poorer and the middle class is shrinking.

Labour weekend is looming on the horizon

Agree. That's what i do when I need to sell a car, it always works.

Ply/foam/ply?

Seemed like a pleasant enough trip, but I'm with IT, one person who can say "nothing to worry about - that's normal" can do a lot to calm a rookie crew. Lucky nothing bad happened.

The dutchman is cool, but probably not worth the hassle or expense on a boat your size. If I may offer a suggestion - do what needs to be done to get sailing, then go sailing, then decide what additions/alterations are necessary. When we bought BP I had a long list of things I Wanted to do. Luckily I can't start them as I have to finish paying for the boat first. But surprisingly the list is now way, way shorter as i learn that what was put there by the designer and the previous two owners is actually pretty smart.

You boat has the measles! Did you go to Armageddon?

Have you tried Henderson BBS

Now you need to do a trip on BP.

Back from eight days away on BP. Achieved nothing noteworthy, went nowhere in particular - loved every minute of it.

Finally caught a snapper that was legal to keep and eat, only had to go to the Cavallis to get it.

yep, I have a big mother shop vac you can buy rent steal whatever. Just need to pick it up.

Oh yeah, but I had more important things to worry about than the electronics.

After being rolled, having wind gear was at the bottom of my list.

Haha I was wondering of the teak was worn out or whether water had made it into the ply and rot was happening?

What was the problem with the old deck exactly?

I always wondered how you did that, thanks Rigger.
