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!

Hi James,

I saw Seabird was back at Mercury when I arrived. Fairways went back in yesterday so she's good to go for the season ahead. Lets hope it's a cracker!!

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 :p

cheers

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.

Well done James, clear to see you enjoy the prep, that's a first class finish.
