Hi folks, I got a cover off ebay and after a bit of power washing it came up almost new. I got some Granger's Fabsil, a product used for making tents etc waterproof. It's been great on the cover, and water is beading and creating puddles which won't saturate the canvas, it got me to thinking...

Thats old! I think elvstrom sails were teh first sail makers, if tha's in as good condition as the pictures suggest it could be worth alot of money to someone.... As far as your ropes go i'd look at replacing them all, get a bit of colour in there so you can tell the differance between them...

're gunnels- you need something that dries solid and bonds to the existing material, I'd use some sort of epoxy/fibreglass filler, hold the two sides together with a clamp with cardboard against the boat to protect it and distribute the force a bit

That looks great, I didn't paint mine, the presvious owner did, but I've a few touch usp to do and won't be using undercoat

My old boat is also done in toplac, 4 years later and I'm only going to touch up a few small areas on the deck where the cover and ropes have rubbed, I'm very impressed with it especially on the bottom.

and came across this just now http://www.lasersailing.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2014/01/turbokit.pdf

I found this helpful when doing my old boat http://mpaladin.com/downloads/laser/LaserRigging.pdf

Cheers foxy!

If you haven't got one get a dremal type grinder, really made the prep very easy for my job...

As far as getting someone to do it, I was quoted 300GBP for mine,im not sure I'd be happy with that given what I've done myself for less than 50 quid in materials/tools.....

yeah, and when you've rubbed it down a bit too much it needs another coat.....;)
