    Quitting lasering, selling the voodoo

    It's been a long run, plenty of great memories since I first got into one but my lifestyle and the many mental things I've done to myself, the crazy physical situations I've found myself in have really started to catch me up so I made a decision yesterday to advertise voodoo and I doubt I'll be...

    What's inside your boat?

    Hey people, it struck me that folk often wonder what's inside their boat, how this connects to that, are there any ply pads to fix to, why does this bit flex etc.etc. Here's a 1970's hull de-decked.
