Last post by AndyLang - October 06, 2025, 02:31:00 PMHi Paul,
Slight direction change…. Was chatting to Andy W, let’s fix up and backdate Loco to 97 rules.
Some fixes are due to some damages he made (jib track 13yrs ago apparently) and others are just knocks and scrapes over the years.
I have an old 97 rig so can bring that along if time allows (lob off 1m from the old mast). Main focus will be fill and fair the hull, however I can grab a tin of White too [emoji1787]

The best paint to bring is 2k car paint. To pick a color either go to local Halfords and pick a car color from the reference swatch or look through a RAL swatch. Car paint suppliers can mix to these references. A lot of the RAL colors are more vibrant than car colors.
If you get 2.5L it will be enough and have some spare for future touch-ups. Also get some hardener and some 2k medium speed thinners

Calendar Events / 2026 RYA Dinghy Show Cherub Cl...
Last post by paul_croote - October 01, 2025, 07:48:21 PMThe stand is booked for the show. Marmites going to be on it after a freshen up and new sails. We also plan to have a 55" tv playing video. The cost to have electric on the stand is an additional £420! I have checked with the organisers and they are happy for us to run the tv using an inverter and batteries. I have an inverter but we need the use of two 100AH leisure batteries for the weekend. Lithium batteries are not allowed so lead acid or similar would be ideal. Can anyone help with this?
Who's up for a stint helping the stand? depending on numbers I might organize a Yeo Valley Joinery sponsored Airbnb and have a social on the Saturday evening.
