old wooden clipper (removed the hatch cover)
I have taken the old wooden hatch cover off to find out what was inside there was something that moved around when you tilted the boat found the end of a hand made brass anchor and the remains of some sort of leaf or plant the joints are sealed with tar the inside has been carved out i find it very strange that the two items were sealed up inside i think it is very old possible the 1900

Mike / Michel-Cl. - david41Master SeamanHi Mike.
glad that i could help i took the entire cabin off this evening as i had to fit a new sail servo and on turning the cabin section upside down spotted very small numbers on sections of the wood i then remembered all the years ago that the deck and cabin etc came all marked out so you just had to cut them out very easy the hull was very thin plastic type and was prone to cracking a few years ago i striped the lot down and pumped builders foam inside the hull manage to marsked of the servo and rudder section and it made the hull a lot firmer and was still light i plus i know that it won't sink
Best Regards
David

boat Transport and lifting gear improvement
Have fitted quick release pins now instead of a threaded wingnut much quicker to take apart

Skiers with extra large cajones
if you think Babs looked ok on skis, check these Aussie maniacs out ! Ski racing at over 100mph. Boats sound fantastic as well.

- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralHi Rick,
While attempting water skiing for the first in S. Africa many many moons ago I hit the water a few times at only 30+knots. And I can assure you the saying is very true - It feels like concrete!💥☹️ Mucho painful 😭
😎Liked by pressonreguardless - pressonreguardlessRear AdmiralYou are absolutely right.
When slaloming on Candlewood Lake I went over so far, hit the water. I thought my eye was getting ripped out of its socket. I loved it😂😂😂
At 130. I think not☹️☹️Liked by jbkiwi and SimpleSailor

- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralMuch better JB👍
Now Utoob offers me HD up to 1080p. Vid works lighter too.
Now even on the distant shots I can see that 'something' is being towed.
Shots near the jetty show Babs quite well now.
Why do you have to shoot in the old (1992😮), closed, Microsoft AVI format?
Conversions of AVI are almost always dodgy I've found.
My cameras use the H264 or 265 codecs and produce MPEG (MP4) files directly.
Never mind, we got there in the end😊
Cheers, Doug 😎Liked by Seanympth
