Saturday was well attended too. I had a nice chat with the guy at the entrance who works in aluminium - I don't think he has anything on the web though?
Bought most of my shopping list plus an Impulse buy; just an Xhull. I fancy a go at a Thames Tosher when I get time.

HI John
This would work if you sail at a club water/times. The initial set up is club work but the idea is simple and would be available to others.
Knock a short lenght of scaffolding tube into the ground near but away from the water's edge (the only permanent fixture) knock the clay inside it further through and out the bottom. insert a pole of suitable height into the hole (removeable after sailing). select a longer cross pole and fit it with something to form a rotating fulcrum for you sliding lever. This is club equipment - hopefully stored nearby.
Members would only need bring their own sling suitable to their vessel.
No bending - lever assisted lift, rotation means not approaching the waters edge. Nothing on site to vandalise Build/install once - ongoing use for all.

📝 RTTL Plan Query

HI Guys
I was kindly given a set of Vic Smeed plans for an RTTL so when a new chap on Mayhem wanted a copy It seemed apt to help him out. He has just emailed me to ask If I have the Instructions too? Now I have no Idea If there ever were any or If the build Is just off the plan? Any Idea lads? I don't want to search the web If they have never existed.
Regards Dave

Hi
Recently a friend was looking for a Hale's Spraymaster plan. I found one advertised on Ebay. However it turned out to be a large sheet of construction instructions with diagrams for the kit parts (ie not an actual plan).
Here is an original ad or two
