I am grateful for my Honourable Moderator Colleague for alleviating my / our distress by removing the kitchen block. Not sure if the bacon sandwich (spam) version is still there. I have to add that when we were under attack, a long time ago, I 'trolled' the contact number with my home fax machine (a 1990's household staple).

The aluminium sheets came back from Forgetec - with extra sheet / offcuts that are useful (the excuse for all hoarders). The diagram shows PM4 and PM3 difrerences. I had alluded to the corrosion and holes drilled, with alacrity (no, not that one..), so I have glued the outer 'skin' onto both front and rear seats.

Often the remote control fitting is missing on these boats - this had a welded box affair with 2 14mm nuts and bolts fastening it to the outside of the hull! My local blacksmith is to make it up / bend it to shape, from No4's pattern. Here are the basic dimensions..

Finally had a decent finish on the paint - normally have Redtree foam brushes in stock, but resorted to buying some horrible rubbish during lockdown. What a waste of time (and paint). The seats and transom are on their 4th coat of varnish - taking advantage of some warm weather for a change.

Do you fold the aluminum yourself or use a shop? Either way, neat

Have a metalwork / blacksmith shop in the village. Sourced and cut all the ali I needed for the other jobs to size. For this, I emailed him pics and dimensions and he did the angles by eye.
