I thought wifey would have said something like

"thats a dodgy looking bookcase"

I'm biting my tongue [}:)]

well I gotta say that egyptian landyacht seat just shows that everything has been tried before.
theres some great ideas there for a paint design though

Sorry Paul could not help myself

The new wheel is on the yacht, Did not get any great weight saving by leaving out 1 layer of mat, pretty happy otherwise. See how it stands up next Sunday.

what a great way to test the wheels.
the boys and I had a great sail at walyungup and the wheels were a dream to run. I managed 3 wins from 4 races, then i handed the yacht over to Bazl for 2 races.
even with his shocking navigation he cruised his first rase (and sail in the yacht) with a second, having passed all 5 yacht that he let pass him
on his next race he set out and sailed like a champion and nothing was going to catch him
it was great to finally see my own yacht sailing
and it showed that all my wins may have been inspite of me sailing rather than because of me sailing[}:)][}:)]
bazls slight ballast advantage was noticable in that he really accelerated upwind, and he finally manage to break a hidden weld that put an end to the days campaign
and he still didnt damage the wheels[}:)]
thanks for the help baz

stub axle has been cut out

and replaced with a stainless weld.
I must remember that next time I get a pigeon to do an important weld, not to let him subcontract the weld out to a quail
I will have to cut the other axle open and check that too . its a first for me to do such a shocking weld, it wasnt even up to amateur status. (hot day /beer weld)hopefully ordering materials for plug and seat tommorrow

note to Paul: more layers of paint on weld (works for me)

Paul, What ever happened to the Paint Job from your Kids???
Ron

saturday a'noon, finished waxing and was just about to ring asisstants, when i realized that my drum of resin hadnt arrived from the freight company.
no good ringing at that time,so another coat of wax.
then i realized that i had totally planned the weekend around the mold.and didnt know what to do next.
so I lay on a bed and that was saturday!!!!!
I think i might have been pushing it a bit
last weekend had 2 different sailing days, drive back to kal and then out to lefroy to film all day for the ABC,then work ,work work
just when you want to play seriously,you have to work seriously

Making Australian 'content' for TV
