the big question here is.........what colour where they painted, Lance...........any ideas?

Problably not painted, but just galvanised, so dull silver/grey. On the two boats we have with drop keels (45' Watson B.A.S.P. and Norfolk & Suffolk James Leath), they're well and truly rusted solid in their boxes.

yes, it is expensive stuff, David.........but will produce many mouldings.

cheers lance........I wouldn't have chosen that colour had you not told me.........would have thought black or grey.......but will now paint, when time ready with some galvanised colour paint.

Hi Neil
Facinated by the moulding process and eagerly watching a master at work! Very much enjoying following this build Neil, great work. Many happy returns to your daughter too! Cake looked lovely. I take it it doesn't look like that now!

you are a cad sir...........but it's an idea after my tea, lol

Rottweiler · « **Reply #266 on:** February 05, 2013, 11:32:24 pm »

Neil,
the only thing I could suggest is to make a small diameter hole in a concealed part of the deck,which you could put a watertight "bung" in.This would only have to be large enough to insert a plastic tube attached to a large syringe,with which you could suck any water out?

You are aware of the saying, that if you think it you have done it/do it

I wish I had just 10% of your energy Neil

You could have made a decent tv series of your last few builds mate.
