Hi! I've spent a fair amount of time reading through posts on this forum about reinforcing the mast step on my free 135xxx hull, and I've come to the conclusion that this should probably be done preventatively. Along with that, I'm going to have to do some extra work in regards to the base of...

Wow, great finds on those old articles! Horizon, your post about the Irish Laser factory from the 80's made me consider that they could be also from there. The red boats (despite the photo's discolouring) look like a similar shade of red so it would be interested to find and compare an Irish...
