Hold on gents - A 9ft skiff made this way would still weigh more than a Cherub :-)
Probably should admit I have enough "materials" to build 2 boats, just a question of if I have the staying power to see it through.

Hi,

Looking at our local weather we are going to travel down Saturday straight to workshop.

We're not bringing a boat.

See you all there

Thanks for the offer of a bed bond girl. That sounds kind of wrong lol. But I have booked into a nearby premier inn, it seems that due to work issues 003.5 may only make Saturday now but I will be bringing Eleanor and some dodgy sails from Dean ( they fell off the back of a 49er)

Ditched in favour of a Premier Inn. I'm sure that never happened to Ms Galore

I should watch out for snakes in the shower, and spiders in the bed if I were you Simon.

Hayley_Trim · January 25, 2013, 01:19:52 PM

They charge extra for those at a Premier Inn don't they?

Graham Bridle · January 25, 2013, 05:19:16 PM

No, thats if you want to sleep with Lenny Henry.

First stage of Eleanor's nose job is done. The old hoop is off and the new one has been bogged in place. Hopefully the bog wil be solid enough to sand/ shape this morning. A big thanks to Paul for the help last night, we didn't get away until around 11.00pm

I hope all had a productive day today.

Alex's NCt group birthday party went well.

I managed to write off the focus last night. Found my self slowly sliding down an icy patch on a hill towards a car coming up the same single track road. decided to stop the car by turning it into the bank on the side of the road to avoid a collision and managed to roll it onto it's roof. No injuries but pride is a bit dented.

Hayley_Trim · January 26, 2013, 10:51:10 PM

Sounds like the focus is too! But seriously, really glad you're ok. Sounds scary.

Some good sticky activity yesterday followed by curry and back to chez Trim for "find a bed where you can".
Bacon sarnies and back to the workshop this morning.
Cheese should be good as new, Sweet Dreams has been having some kite system mods and a progrip facelift and Eleanor has a new kite hoop and some other little bits of tinkering. Paul C has laid up some rudder skins.
I uploaded some pics on the UK-Cherub Facebook page as we were going along.

Looking like a hive of activity there Hayley, Shame we couldn't make it along. I'll need to pull my finger out and get working on the boat soon as otherwise we'll be left behind!

Graham Bridle · January 27, 2013, 12:08:18 PM

Excellent work, nice to see child slavery alive and well. Lots of photos please !

Torchy · January 27, 2013, 05:48:09 PM

I now know what peel ply is!!....nothing can save you now...(strokes his white cat and laughs evilly)

Thanks to everyone, particularly Paul for the workshop and carbon rudder building wisdom
