Re: General interest Links and Videos
I’m issuing you are challenge Emrys.
We each have to create a functional dodger for a 563 spending a maximum of $5 ....cardboard does not count
We each have one month (after bloody lockdown) to complete task. Geoff will judge the best dodger.
Won’t you Geoff?

Re: General interest Links and Videos
I’m experimenting with timber Emrys but it’s interfering with the vang. May have to change plans.

Oh, a breathtaking combination of practicality and aesthetic excellence. Tens all round.
Reminds one of a portaloo on a trailer. The retro fenders are a nice touch.

Re: General interest Links and Videos
Thank you Geoff, but it’s finally struck me why it’s not working aesthetically. Round porthole on the door is clashing with the rectangular windows. I shall erase

Re: General interest Links and Videos
Interesting Video about the Pardey's, sad to hear of Larry's passing from Parkinsons in 2015. have only read a little of Lin's work online when i was researching a good yacht tender and came across their Fatty Knees 8 tender (for 2nd 30ft yacht "Talesin"?) and how good it was. Awhile later a FN8 came up in Townsville on Gumtree, very rare down-under as made in USA, so bought it. It's certainly proved to be the best dinghy ever owned, Thanks Lin and Larry.snoopebj wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 10:29 am Meanwhile............

I can see where you’re heading Ozzie but don’t feel threatened yet. That one does look a bit dunny like as Geoff said
I’m still perfecting my cardboard prototype. Getting strange looks from my neighbours. Probably think I’m a lockdown loony.
The fn8 a nice historical connection to the Pardeys Andrew. Don’t think there’s is’nt one aspect of cruising sailing they have’nt influenced.
