Re: Delta prop

My firm can supply a new 9x10 LH bronze prop with a standard taper, these are individually made from a pattern taken from an original Delta 2-blade prop which Ray had. For info, we also have the original pattern for the 3-blade V6 prop. The engine hatch hinges, assuming they're the tapered chrome on...

Re: Merc 115 problem

For what it's worth... For my racing Yahaha 70, developing about 90hp and burning 5 litres of fuel in a 10-minute race, a 5/16" fuel line that actually had a a 1/4" element at the tank connection was never a problem. My guess is that the Merc wouldn't need anywhere near this kind of flow rate, so ho...

Re: Albatross rear subframe

Bit late on this one, sorry about that... If you study the construction of the 'Aft Subframe', you'll realise that it offers more stiffness fore & aft than it does across the beam. At the P-Bracket, most of the loads are acrossways, and it's thought that this is one reason that hulls often crack in ...

Re: Low Freeboard Fenders ( Taylor Made )

For those who have boats too high for the 'regular' fenders, there do exist Giant versions, I have some samples that Taylor Made sent when we bought the first batch years ago - not cheap, though! As to straps, we can still do our patented (!) press stud/adjustable straps in lots of colours, a fiver ...

LATEST: Cholmondeley Pageant of Power - 18/19 July

Hi Guys - and thanks to those who've been in touch and are prepared to support our Association by bringing their boats along for the display.

Insurance - Is Third Party Possible?

I just had my annual renewal come through from GJW for later this month and, like others, I reckon it's a bit steep. There was a lot of discussion a few months ago - did anyone find a better alternative? Realistically, all we need is Third Party cover, to keep venues etc happy. There used to be a go...
