Thanks to all of you, and particularly those who suggested alternative sticky bits. I do use a Breton plotter routinely and have used a Douglas protractor on occasion. I am trying to give my 12 year old experience of a variety of instruments and therefore still wish to include the good old...

My parallel rulers are proving less manageable than they once were, even on a becalmed dining table. I see that one of the little circular pads on the underneath is missing and that the others are looking messy. Can they be the cause of my dilemma and are they fixable? <hr width=100% size=1>

Bless you Jeremy-W, I was beginning to think that nobody had heard of this boat. I shall follow up your information and pad out its CV. Do you happen to know anything about its wormscrew mechanism for the lifting keel?

and if you leave the rest of the engine hooked up to it you can get the tree to spin round in time to 'I'm dreaming of a green Christmas'. And a Merry Christmas to you too.

When I read some peoples posts I am treated to pictures that embellish their name. Now what I want to know is, can I click on these pictures and get a much larger one, it works on www.yachtworld.com so why not on paulineb? I have been clicking this particular model for hours to no avail, but...

Having sorted the halyard problem (see below), what about ventilation. Cascade Too is a 28' wooden racer/cruiser and her original owner did not fit a single vent. However she smells as sweet as a nut below and there is no sign of timber rot. I would like to fit ventilators before she is next...

I only mentioned oxalic acid to set the scene. Little did I know that it would prove to be something of a cure-all. I will give it a go at the suggested dilution but can't help but wonder now if it might remove the unsightly blemishes on Grandma's support tights. <P ID="edit"><FONT...
