    RTI this Saturday

    Replete with full main. I haven't read a co26 recently but I imagine it would contain the phrase "needs a bit of wind to get it going".

    Dilemma- Small Yanmar diesel

    Is the owner fixing it before sale or are you proposing to buy it as is, presumably with a very steep discount?

    Dyneema Gates ( lifeline , life line , guard rail )

    Who in their right mind has dyneema guardrails, what problem are you solving? 4mm 1x19 cheap as anything and end fittings likewise. Abrasion resistant and lasts years. None of those things are true of dyneema.

    It works again!

    Well done, must be very satisfying. I've celebrated far less impressive engine feats than this. Replacing a core plug the other week was sufficient for a 5th growth.

    Any experience of ‘Spare Air’ system for diving for quick underwater maintenance ?

    Penrhyn dock would be the obvious choice for drying out, give Dickies a call. Maybe space against the wall at caernarfon depending which side of the swellies you are.

    Large format plan printing

    For reasons that I'm not sure I'm going to build a large rowing boat. The plans have one of the sheets to be printed full size at about 3m x 0.95m but I'm having trouble finding somewhere to print them. My online searches reveal either printing up to A0 or on heavy vinyl for advertising...

    Name the engine lol

    Looks like a core plug missing it's core plug. I had a recent similar experience. Core plug - Wikipedia Good news is that a new plug is 50p from a car shop. Bad news is why it came out in the first place, presumably frost/lack of winterization. Just tap a new one in, of the right size.
