is that the best thing ikea sell in eastville ? thnk i will stick to using the birch plywood my local model shop sell for my building work ! why three boats at once , are you entering an endurance competition

how much do these blinds cost and how much boat built can you get out of one?

what happens if ikea change their stock and stop selling blinds?

Great to see more Sea Queens under construction, you can't have too may old Aerokits models around for my liking. Amazingly similar construction with them all, just different sizes! I look forward to see how you get on with yours.

Hi Larry

You listed them at 5.5mm thick. Do you find them flexible enough for our needs ? The lengths look convenient enough for boaters. I might go down and have a look at them.

HI KEN ,
2.5 mm or 1/8 OLD MONEY........did you enjoy shepton ? not much going on sunday poor trade turn out .......LARRY...

Ah !! that's more like it. I like old money

The show on Saturday was very good. It was well supported and very busy with people. Sorry to hear the traders deserted, but it never did have masses of traders. The Warwick show in November is the one NOT to miss.
