Potato masher

https://forums.ybw.com/threads/essentia ... er.608970/

This link to a Facebook vid is interesting. I’ve used a potato masher before but tied to a long bit of orange leco. Pvc pipe BUT did not think of this method. …….my pipe fell overboard anyway months later. :oops:

Re: Storm Jib

My faux Tassie oak (I think) from local mill lasted a while Ian and on the mooring. This upcoming replacement Ive got some spare caravan drain hose I’m going to split lengthwise and sleeve it over the timber rail . Sort of its own little garage. I would think pool noodles with the centre hole would ...

Re: I want an Investigator trailer.

Hi I’m just throwing it out there again by bumping this post . I believe PCFreeway is still in the market for a 563 but he’s waiting for contact. He’s after Boat only and I’m interested in your trailer. If you like you can contact me via pm with trailer details and then I’ll contact him cheers.

Re: USEFUL STUFFS

Bumping this again as Aldi had ski gear on Saturday. The $49 jacket in bright red would be a good sailing jacket by the look of it. Certainly cheaper than anything with “sailing “ sold in marine outlets. Once again you need to add reflective tape if it’s not on your PFD. I bought a few caps and a ba...

Re: USEFUL STUFFS

Just throwing a post on “Prep”. This is an adhesive recommended to me by a staff member at the green shed although they don’t sell it. It’s like PVA but seems much better, even better than the more so called “waterproof” PVA glues. It’s only marked as water resistant on the bottle but Ive stuck a la...

Re: I563 in Ravenshoe, Qld

You did well seeing that one Andrew. Given that not only is the description wrong but his lead photo is his rubber duckie tender. Not surprised he’s having trouble. Looks like single hinged hatch. Nice work on the timber galley unit although as ad says it’s now a “three berth”. It looks like the swi...
