Hi Ed, 

Mega Thankyou! 

Not sure I'll be going for such a big name graphic, but it did look cool back in the day. 

Hi All, 

I've been looking through the Boat DB and old newsletters for a picture of 3404 in the original "The Arouser" colours but I haven't had any luck, does anyone have any knocking around that you could share please ?  

Many Thanks

Cheers. There was a time well many times when I thought, " what have i done, why did i start" lol . Was good to see the bare wood and the construction thou.
The colour was part of the bargin that " r lass" would learn to sail in her.

Hi all. Boat was renamed to Betty Bounder as she is a lady!!!. Really happy with the way she sails especially downwind. The built in tanks makes her extremely easy to empty when we go for a swim there’s hardly any space for the water to sit. .The tanks are also done very professionally and look suburb.

Full repaint with 2pac on the hull. Resin seal and 2pac varnish on the decks to make her look like a lady again. The inside was only touched up, I just ran out of time. The colour reflects my crews (girlfriend)

Hi,
If the T shirt sells well, i think a  "Baseball cap" with the N12 logo on would be good , i am sure these will sell well,  or some sort of cap for sailing ... 

Thanks for the info , Will let you know how it went :-/.  Just a gamble not to mess it up
 
Cheers
 

Hi there,
Just after some advice on Polishing please, as  my final coat looks really good, except for some small dust particles that have appeared. So i am considering using wet and dry 1200 then polishing it to remove the scratches, however i have never done this so unsure which polish to use and if it will work as the finish is really good just a shame about the dust, which came from no where on my last coat!!!

So any advice on the grade of sand paper , polish and technique would greatly be appreciated as i really dont want to mess it up at this stage.
 
Kind regards

I have recently moved away from international, and are very impressed with Jotun paint which was recomended by my local boat shop/boat repairer and not heard nowt bad about them yet.
They have a 2 part Primer called Penguard HB which is a Pure epoxy primer which covers and stiffens very well, I can also recomend there 2 part Hardtop XP whcih i recently got a very good finish with, However only time will tell if i made the right choice going away from old faithfull international, but I just got bored of the same colours i suppose.
Regards Tim
 
Note on colours Does anyone have a copy of Internationals "paint mix chart" they released a few years ago? I had a look on the internet but no luck.
 

I have emailed Mike cooke about a carbon pre peg boom he has, i am just weighing up the cost and the differnece in them.

I have a proctor kappa Mast and Boom at the moment does anyone know the weight of the mast?



Cheers
