At the mo it looks like 3 Makara boats are interested in showing our ware's Just got to get the B&B shorted.
Oh yes buy fast we mean somewhere between 30 to 40 mph is norm. Hope theres lots of water??

We have tracked them with GPS so this is not just us boasting it's fact.

Bill,

Did you manage to test your new cooling arrangement yesterday ?

Anyone got any news on the Makara day out ? Is it definitely 20th July (can't make it) ?

Done a little bit more on my Makara.
After much procrastination - whether to add anything to the hull, whether to:

1) Lay up with more Polyester / GF
2) Paint on epoxy / chopped strands / microfibres mix
3) Lay up with epoxy / GF

After guesstimating how much (expensive) epoxy I'd need, I finally went for 1); so I should end up with a much heavier boat - even if it's not any stronger. I just hope it sets - the polyester resin's been in my shed for about three years. The mat came in two strips, so I've laid one each side - from almost the top of each side, to about an inch or so above the keel. I think it was a metre long, so I've done about the rearmost two thirds of the boat that way.

Hi Ian
I put another pick over the prop but it didn't do much. Spent the afternoon in the swapping over the water pump from the Endforcer, and fitting a low pick up point. Seems OK in the garden. I am going to blow out Bryn Bach next weekend till I get a bit more testing done. Hopfully it will be OK for Branston.

Hi All

The Makara Day Out is indeed scheduled for the 20th July but I am still waiting to hear back from Robin Butler about what is happening. In theory there should be no probs as we have OMRA cover but it's whether or not the Park will allow it.

Protocol demands that we approach KWPBC and do it all properly but failing that, there is nothing to stop ppl turning up and making a day of it so long as there are KWPMBC members on hand to operate the rescue boat {Me!}

I'll hassle Rob this week before my hols. and let you all know.

Bill, Where is this pic of the month? linky please?

Cheers all

Phil.

How many runs are we going to get on Sunday? Have you found out yet? The other thing is I may not get there before 10.00am prob just after I think. I will give you a call on Sat IF I am going to try and get there.

Hi Tony.
Yes please to the Ex pipe. I have fitted the stinger off the Endforcer to my Makara today. I have decided Not to go next Sunday. 1 I want to keep the boat in one bit for Weymouth and as i said IF it goes wronge I will not have any time to fix it. ( Hols). 2 I have just been to pick up from Heathrow the Ozy branch of the family & I suspect I will have to be a the Family garthering next Sunday Lunch time. 3 I can try and tune the boat with the correct pipe on next Sunday morn. Maybe bring My Ozy Uncle to show him how it's done over here.
I take it you now have my Address????
Cheers for now
Bill
PS Have filled the Hole in the Hole. Good us new now.

Hi Tony
Have finshed of the Stinger set up. Lets hope it improves things a bit?
Looking forward to receiving the pipe to see how much difference it makes.
