Ah.
Not an option then
Looks great anyway
Thanks, I have the rope fender being made by Chatham ropery, they have already made me one, but not in the size I ordered..(mine will come out at 85mm diameter) , they are a charitable organisation bless them and any money they were making out of my purchase has gone down the plug hole... I did make enquiries at Langmans Rope suppliers in Holland for a black polyester rope, but at just under £2000 delivered I couldn't bring myself to do it! So just waiting for the new one to arrive, I was promised it today but after little contact from them I doubt it will appear... hopefully will be here tomorrow or Friday so i can get it fitted on the weekend and I will take some pics!

Thanks James, your not wrong. That first run out to sea and the way you open the throttle and she goes like a rocket with a clean bum and no junk on board (yet)..... No feeling like it.

Ha! I know what you mean... next run out, food, dinghy, outboard, water, clothing, family, dog, all loaded up like you are going into battle and things become a little more sluggish!

BB, if you are an engine collector and swap engines every fortnight, GRP has nothing to do with it
cheers

PS. nice job FF, 85mm dia is a hell of a rope there! is it going to be single coloured or black/white combo (don't really like the combos...)

Seabird relaunched yesterday, please excuse her temporary nakedness, new rope fender on order and if the cutty sarks rigger gets a move on and gets it finished it maybe fitted this weekend.
BTW.... surely this is one of the best remote control toys ever....
Well done James, clear to see you enjoy the prep, that's a first class finish.
