Thank you

Hi Roger

Sorry to jump in the thread, I have exactly the same scenario with my tiller and am planning to strip and revarnish as you describe.

Could I ask which varnish you're going to use?

How long between coats? Should it get a light sanding between?

Thanks

William

Excellent. Thanks Roger, I will give them a try.

Cheers

William

Hi 20160222_165238.jpg One of my reading lights has a stripped thread where it screws into the fitting. Both parts of the threaded component are plastic and despite my best attempts I cannot get the light to stay up. So Im wondering if any members have experienced this or might there be some parts a...

Yes, I am glad we didn't go in the end and wise words, many thanks. Sometimes, I am not too keen on the sheer hustle and bustle of the Solent though, it can seem a long way from the idea of sailing as a relaxing and tranquil pastime.

Hello All We were planning a trip this bank holiday but are likely to cancel due to the forecast rain and headwinds later in the day on Saturday. Am I being too cautious? Boat is in tip top condition with all safety gear, radar, AIS liferaft etc. Three crew planned, one on first trip, one inexperien...

And yes it did seem strange that only one was glassed over, but I was very pleased it was only one. No problems getting the nuts and washers off though I left the washer in place for the glassed in one.

Thanks for that Steve

Hi I have removed the five nuts from inside the cabin, one of which was glassed over, curiously. So I thought it would then just be a question of hopping up on deck and lifting the rail off. Sadly its not budging. Anyone done this? Do I have to drill the teak plugs and unscrew from the outside? Than...

Ok thanks Phillip. Will get the dremel out then.

Hello All I need to replace the base of the foremost port stanchion on my 89 Fulmar. I have a replacement from Trafalgar which appears, identical so I am hoping its a case of unscrew, remove replace. I read another thread which goes into some detail for a centaur and thanks to all for that. I just w...

Thanks to all who responded on this. As a postscript, the MCA returned my SSR cert without what I assumed to be my hull number (L185). This is apparently not the official international 14 digit number which manufacturers applied as from the, early 90s. I do understand this to be the Westerly identif...

Many thanks to all. Its now done. 45 mm. Roger I'll pm you.

Thanks for that. Seems to agree with 50mm external. Do you reckon 2meters is enough?

Hello Roger

Thanks for that. I assume thats the external diameter? Do you happen to have an idea of the length?

Thanks

William
