Kingfisher 126

Hi Charlie, Form waterjet on Nuffield Est on the road to truck testing station. Dave Freer, 01202 660440. Draw out what you want and the font and the material st/st polished, brushed etc.

Just an observation Adam, the limber holes running between the bulkheads. There is alot of area there thats not sealed if there was a hole up forward, how far back do they go? Maybe worth thinking about making one bulkhead watertight just in case. Well done on getting the worst job of all out the way, soon see some results come together looking good so far.

When you see the charter boats lined up fishing for them, it looks like they are unaware if there is anything in plaice ( oops sorry mean place)!

Best wishes Mal, hope you have a good day, followed by a wine or two!!

A red mullet Kev, heard of them called stripped, you may have a spotted!!! New species found, :) Just a red mate!

Well done Mal and skipper, hope theres some left for some else!

Hi Nigel didn't know you took your own fish to Ireland!!!!

Hi Brian thats fine, cheers.

Ok if it's no problem.

I can try it out in my pint, may save having to lift it!!! Cheers Brian

Hi Brian If you still have this I will make a donation for it. If so can you bring it to the next meeting please. Chris

A great report George, and good luck in the future with the team. A great experience for you and sounds like you've learnt alot too.

You need find some diamonds to sharpen first Charlie!!!!! BTW your sleeve is made.

Well worth the effort, great report and a couple of happy chaps!!

Cracking job George, now for your report on it.

I got a cracking filleting knife from Ikea a few years ago and its still going. Stays sharp and nice and flexable. Stays at home never rusted either. To only thing I've got from there any good!! Any decent knives on the boat have ended up over the side!

A day on the water I hope Peter, hope you had a good one!

Done

You need to make sure the O ring on the thread is a good seal to start with, if it has one if not it needs one. If the tank is plastic I would make a couple of horse shoe shaped plates to fit as washers inside the tank, that will be the only way to keep sealing face flat. (3 holes in each plate). I would also use a gasket to help with the sealing. Those hatches are really designed to keep water out from the outside rather than from the underside if that makes sense! May be worth having a plan B just in case!

Done.

Nice one Charlie, Looks like I will have to go out fishing now you have yours back! Hope all goes well and tight lines for the comp kids!! (And grown ups)!!
