Title: For SteamboatPhil - Sailing Thingy

First ever post in the sailing bit on mayhem, feels very odd....

Bought this little SHG Minnow from Phil at Wicksteed last weekend, he's probably had it in his shed for longer than I've been alive %) 3 days later it's ready to go on the water...

It's quite small and surprisingly heavy. Filled the keel bulb with old rusty bolts. That just about covers my knowledge of sailing thingies. We'll see how it goes {-)

They're modelled after these things: http://www.minnow.org.au/overview.htm

You'll be lucky, my camcorder is broke, and well the key fob cam is broke too.....

Can do pictures though :-))
