Shame on me!

Post by Hugz »

I bought a plastic boat. Plastic!

Funnily enough the previous owner had a seagull on it!

Walker Bay? Believe one attempted round the island in bermuda this year. Emphasis on attempted :)

I occasionally use an AF 40- on mine, a good light motor for the job when moving a full load of people or kit more than a short distance.

Find the keels tend to wear through over time on those, right at the stern. From being dragged over docks and rocks and the like. I add silicone most seasons to patch the reappearing hole!

Yes I've heard of the keel problem. Some good epoxies out there now so might look at putting a brass strip on. There is a wheel as well. I'm thinking a windsurfing sailing ring might work as a sail on it.

AF? I do have a little fvp l can put on it. A Walker Bay 8 correct.
