Many thanks to John Meadowcroft for taking time out after a rock hard day at Grafham water today to measure my boat Le Shed.

Unfortunatly the boat was confirmed 15kg OVER WEIGHT so im off to have a word with my dad to see how he can lose weight...}

 

John

thanks John

i will measure the centreboard at the weekend

the measurement cirtificate is curently in my dads name will i need to get it transferred before its measured or can i do it after?

thanks once again

tom white

Thank you

weight seems to be the thing that people seem to keep questioning. whilst we have owned the boat we havent made any significant changes. my farther and i have encased the hull in fibre glass to aid strength. i believe the mast to be the original aluminium one.
if there anything else you think that may be contentious with a boat this age please could you advise as part of the measurement review.

many thanks

Hi

im just wondering if anyone who could measure my boat is going to grapham in 2 weeks?

my sails have already been measured by brian herring on the 23rd of august at readsmere.

Le shed has now been done up abit

 we have now fitted it with a angell carbon boom, brand new P&B sails, carbon tiller extension, tiller/rudder slot, and have put a carbon plate in the nose so we were able to re shape it

 the boat is still in red but we have polished it so it is like a mirror

we took it to the trent valley open yesterday (13th/09/09) and olton mere the day before (12/09/09) and it improved every race as we got used to the boat.

at olton we got a 4th, a 3rd, a 2nd and two 1sts. and yesterday we were put into the 4 plank and vintage fleet and we won every race. in the first race we made up the five minutes and over took most of the carbon, double floor and newar ac boats.
so it was well worth the time and effort.

The new looking le shed will be there again
this time not looking like a shed too much
 cant wait
see you in a week

Hi its Tom the owner of Le Shed (N2765)

 I am going to be attending all of the Midlands open meetings this year (Redesmere, Olton Mere, Trent Valley) and the last Gill series race at Northampton. I have been making ammendments and alterations to my boat as repairs were needed and she needed a new coat of paint. I've recently bought a new set of sails from P&B and i need to get them measured. I also need to get my boat weighed. Roger Angell had a quick weigh on some scales of his and the hull itself weighed over 78kg but i need it weighed properly.

I was just wondering if anyone who can measure the sails and weigh the boat would pop to Redesmere, Olton Mere or Trent Valley if possible?

Measurers can reach me via email and i'll get back to you as soon as i can or i will check this thread as much as i can for any replies.

Many Thanks,
