TimW 1 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Ados make a solvent for the removal of F2 that works a treat on Stickyback adhesive. I think its called Solvent N and its available from regular hardware stores. Link to post Share on other sites
TimW 1 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Looks to have all the makings of another delayed start? If you had a crystal ball it would be great to be able to sleep in until the wind had settled in. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Thinking lemon pepper fish strips followed by a Thai Fish curry. Using fresh fish of course, we do seem to catch more while racing than when trying to catch the feckers on purpose. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Just looking at the course, does anyone have the distances for each leg (long course, I can't do it from here.Just near enough. Trying guess times at each corner to see what the breeze might be doing. Link to post Share on other sites
