Last post by AndyLang - October 01, 2025, 07:41:02 PMHi Paul,
This would be amazing!! If we go option 2 for the sake of time, could we colour change Loco….. I was planning oem white, then Daryl sent me their original ideas, and Evan is keen on lime green or Cadbury purple [emoji1787]
Could I bring the mast to varnish too? It’s also showing the weather
Fab I’ll get us into a local lodge.
Thanks
Andy

It's not a problem spraying a boat during the sticky weekend depending on what preparation you can get done first.
Option 1, Back to new looking. You will need to sand right back, fill any dings, prime (Green Ti primer is best, can be brushed or rollered on). You can then de-nib ready on the Saturday ready for topcoat early evening.
Option 2, Freshen up. If you can get me in time to start work early on Saturday you can key up the current top coat, fill and prime any patches, then we can topcoat early evening. It's likely that it will gain a bit of weight with this option.
Either of the nearby Travelodge's are reasonably priced.

It’s in the calendar, myself and Evan would love to come along again. Projects wise not sure we have much to bring (other than Loco who needs a full respray and mast varnish….. which aren’t really suitable for this wknd I’d imagine).
The old trolley cradle is for a 200 and has come adrift from the mount…… that is on the to do list! Or just build a new trolley slightly longer and moulded to the hull.
Never know, we may get her out in Oct and find something to bring to the party
Which hotels do you recommend for the Sat night?
Thanks
Andy
