    Louis commented on the post, Grunt Boat Cleaner – A FULL REVIEW 1 month ago

    A lot of the caravans that iv’e come across seem to use a simlliar gelcoat/ topcoat to the the one found on on most GRP boats. On my Seamaster 950 which is polyester GRP it didn’t cause any damage and did a good job of protecting the area for what seemed like a good year after. The non slip area was very well cleaned without removing any paint.…[Read more]

    Dampness in a boat is a constant battle. My first experience of how bad things can become was in Brighton. We were fresh-faced newbies in the boating arena and had purchased a 27ft fibreglass single skin […]

    Louis replied to the topic Materials For A Changing Displacement Boat in the forum Boat Building 5 months, 3 weeks ago

    Hello J,

    It’s a hard one to visualise. I can offer some breadcrumbs.

    To me, my first thought would be to continue with the inflatable material on the outside, PVC or even better Hypalon, chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE) synthetic rubber. They’re impressively solid materials when you bring air pressure into the mixture and they offer…[Read more]

    Louis replied to the topic Creating Stabilising Legs – · 11 July 2020 in the forum Restoring Merganser 9 months ago

    Hey Marc, for the non-sailors out there, can you explain what is you’re doing with the legs? Love the idea. My motor cruiser is the semi-displacement single keel, so the thought of grounding out in the channel terrifies me, obviously I have no intention in letting it happen! Not having bilge keels, is a definite con. Are the legs to be used on…[Read more]

Here’s the vberth overhead cuddy installed, it slipped a bit when I left it to cure so…[Read more]

    Awesome work Mark, what roller sander did you go for out of interest?
    How does a roller sander compare to say a flapdisc on an angle grinder. I’ve a attached a photo of my leg tattoo, I thing grinders are the king of the tools. like me.
