Hi Michel, looks good, - I hope you have tied the insulation tube on, as it tends to float. Good idea with the multi purpose use.๐

Bonsoir JB!
Oh, You are right, the optimist is always opti in the beginning. . . "mist" (Germanword, in English :dung) But if you take your time, something like yours will come out! Excellent! Get tips from you, ok? But the first question: How did you solve that with the sailing servo? May I ask for a few pictures? Thanks in advance Michel-Claude ๐ Like

Hi Michel, my Optimist was the same,- a lot of things broken after long storage,- rebuilt a lot of the cabin woodwork, replaced frayed stays etc, but a nice boat in the end, and getting quite rare now.

Hi JB,
Yes ! I restore my ship's tailcoats one after the other, as you say so beautifully: step by step Then the hull is completely covered with special polyester. I let these cure for a week and work on the others. Greets Michel-Cl. PS: The optimist was in bad shape because his hull was made of ABS. After almost 33 years of slumbering beauty, I had to remove the whole structure called compulsory !! ๐ Like

Hi Michel, looks good and stores well. I see you are rebuilding a Graupner Optimist ?

Hi Michel-Claude
This is looking good and I think we can now understand you are making a boat transporter to take your models to the sailing site.๐ You are fortunate to have such good help with the fabrication from your former company. It's making into a very professional looking bit of equipment.๐ I have a similar item made from a golf trolley with home fabricated mounts. Cheers Dave ๐ Like
