Re: Thre internal carbon fibre is real

I used to have/race a mirror yonks ago. Black hull, #56816. We're talking 1976-79 I think. That just happened to be the closest pic I could find - I just found it on google.

No connection with STMLSC (not sure i recognise that club from the initials?). I used to sail at Southport Sailing Club and West Lancs Yacht Club, the 24hr race place /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

STMLSC

St Mary's Loch Sailing Club in the Scottish borders. We used to sail our Mirror there but I have lapsed to a non-sailing member since getting the BIG /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif boat.

real teak and real carbon fibre?...

er, just a minute tho. He said "the interior is teak wood and not Formica" in prev post.

Taken at face value (or actyually, any other value really) - that means "not veneer" - i.e. it's teak ie teak thru and thru. Really? Ok, firstly - it's really teak ("sported teak" as response makes it v believable) rather than another wood and second - it's not veneer.

I slightly disagree with you bout some aspects of furniture being veneer as "the very best quality"- drawers made of teak frexmaple is a whole upper level ball game from teak-faced ply, tho depends how much is teak, how much isn't. So, that flarebox thing wot i stand on is teak and specifically thick enuf teak for fat git to be able to stand onit. So in 20 years even after lots of crashity bang arg the teak drawer with dovetails is gonner be a teak drawer. Whereas veneer ain't.

So is his reponse "yes it's carbon fibre" similarly assuming a Wannabee Wontbuy instead of Picky Git, hm? I mean, in the bog, it *looks* extremely 40mm bullnose particle boardish to me. And if carbon fibre, why make it look like that? And how the hell woodya fit a sink screw onto the underneath if it's a somehow thick double layer sheet unless special incredible unlikely bonded and throw away the set of "screw these into the paricle board underneath" screws? Real carbon fibre isn't obviously shiny/not shiny - it's a light effect so some of it is really quite black - not like the in the pic.

Anyway, if he tells you the silver paint is real silver ....
