This is really one for the English south coast sailors who understand just how crowded places like the Solent can get but if anyone else has good...
all good firsthand info guys, thanks!
Yep the BS1088 stuff over here is all sold in metric sizes, so the 4mm ply comes out at 3.6mm and is sold as such - I guess for the same reasons...
I quite agree, the consideration here is being made purely because 3/16" (4.76mm) ply is not available at a feasible price in the UK. The nearest...

I noticed that, if it had simply given way then surely the rig would have just come down and the boat remained upright - after all it's hardly an...
If you're in the UK it's worth giving the guys at MCMC a call if you're in the UK - www.matrixmouldings.co.uk I've used them for epoxy when...
My thoughts would be enjoy the R21 as it is, then sell it and buy a trimaran. I can't think why you'd pull apart a perfectly good boat, it doesn't...
Thanks for those, LucD. I'd seen the second video before now, but the first one is excellent - that guy really knows how to make a video showing...
