So, are these pics a solution to the spongy cockpit?, should i be strengthening like this under the sole, i was intending, after checking what has happened, to cut out the cockpit sole and replace the ply, then re glass. But i guess your solution would also provide a 'belt and braces' approach...

Thanks for the info guys, looking through images on google i think its a ricochet micro standard, that appears to be the exact shape and design. The gent ive bought it off has a ssr number for it and the sails have an emblem on (yet to see this) Collecting it sunday so will know a little more...

I bought one last year and have used it on board and also in my :rolleyes: caravan with great results, got to say, it's a little noisey if sited on a worktop, but very effective for the money.
