    Jealous! I was a caddie for 11 years and as a result an obsessive player. Never got my handicap below 8, but the first time I broke 80 was one of the happiest days of my life.
    Sadly drifted away from the game to chase skirts. But, never forgot my old looping days.

    Staying at a BnB along the northern shore of the St. Lawrence River we are seeing various vessels plying the waters. This morning were these two heading towards the mouth of the river.

    Thought of your freighter, though not the same design .

    I have used auto pin striping and even that can be tricky.
    In relation to having photos printed in magazines, I have been lucky to sell quite a few to yachting magazines both in Australia and South America, mainly to do with the Etchell class. It is amazing to see the difference in quality between different productions. All about the almighty dollar.

    Just a quick note while she rests in the shop for the small stuff. The optics between my iphone, the pool water, and the bright sun have skewed my waterline in the previous photos. I can assure you all that I wasn't tipsy when I applied the tape!

    Sheโ€™s a beauty Roy! Excellent!!!

    And agree on the model magazine printing and mass produced printing in general. Maybe poor quality is the reason itโ€™s going the way of the dodo. They just arenโ€™t putting in the effort.

    re post 223, I have at last got my Fairwind picture up-loaded. This picture got onto the magazine front cover without anyone noticing the floppy stanchion wire!
    This was the review article for the kit, I had to give it back afterwards and just received money per page of the article.
    However back then the magazine pictures were printed on glossy paper and looked good.
    Todays magazine pictures look so dull, maybe it is cheaper and maybe we would not buy the magazines if printed nicely, due to cost.

    Good old days are gradually going.

    Hi Commodore, when sticking anything to a smooth surface I give the surface a quick rub down with Methylated spirits, the mauve stuff in a bottle.
