Bloody hell mate. That has gotta hurt. Those boats were a big part of your life.
Were they insured? Any idea who done it?
I want to say some bad words myself about this so I know how you must feel.
The prick needs hanging up by the nuts.

Mate I will happily give you my DF 33 complete with the fast motor and hardware. I will give you my Turnigy 180 esc and that is OK for a short blast (SAW runs). NO CHARGE for any of that. You have been bloody good to me.
You just need a battery and radio to have her running

Well I just got off the phone to Andy and he is having a BBQ in the middle of the ashes of his shed and is pissed out of his brain. That's the stuff Andy. Show the arsonist he has not stopped you enjoying yourself.

anyone willing to share a few tips on laying CF so it stays aligned ?
read somewhere about hair spray( for the CF ) ?

W

hey doc, here is what i do, spray were your going to cut with hair spray
not to much and give it a minute to set then cut it out,hair spray helps hold it togethor and stop it fraying.
i brush a layer of epoxy in the hull then fold the cf cloth in half (not a crease fold just loose) and that makes it easier to centre the cloth exactly in the middle.
the fiest layer of epoxy holds the cloth down, i use disposable rubber gloves to help push the cloth in to corners etc (put on 2-3 pairs on top of each other pull em off as they get to sticky hmm gunna here about that)
then i pour some apoxy in the centre and work my way out to the edges
on big areas a $3 foam mini roller works very well

if andy finds the prick,zinc lake may have a permanent residant move in

[Chilli]

Sorry for your loss Andy. That truly sucks!!!

$3 foam mini roller works very well

I second that! They work the bubbles out and won't move the CF out of position or pull the edges apart. They also soak up the excess epoxy which leaves a very nice finish.

Don't go overboard on the hairspay. When I used it on FG cloth, the epoxy wouldnt soak into the fibers where the spray was applied.

Paddy lets be modest about this and just write it like it was...

Inspirational St Kilda skipper Nick Riewoldt led his side from a half-time deficit into its second straight AFL grand final by outclassing the Western Bulldogs by four goals at the MCG on Saturday night.

Trailing by a goal at the long change, the Saints exploded out of the sheds and piled on four unanswered goals inside the first 12 minutes of the third term to crush the Bulldogs' spirits with a 13.10 (88) to 8.16 (64) victory.

Riewoldt had the fire in his eyes from the opening bounce of the second half, and booted two of the Saints' seven third-term goals to rally his troops from a goal down to a 31-point buffer at the final change.

From there St Kilda only had to hold out the Bulldogs, who struggled to pick themselves up off the canvas after the demolition job they were on the wrong end of in the third term.

Modesty finishes here

Ohhh Yeahhh we are in the Grand Final


All hail Nick

Where are the pictures of your poncy new boats or did you paint them black and can not find where you left them?

For those that could give a rats a$$, the Black Douglas was tested again this morning with trim tabs added. Wow what an improvement in the ride. The tabs need lifting and CoG moving back as the boat is riding wet. It did 50 something mph on the gps and I am happy with the performance and handling considering the motor and battery I am using at the moment.

Tested the Black Douglas again this morning after raising the trim tabs and moving the CoG back a little. Boat still running wet but more somethings were added to the 50 mph
The hull has no vices at this speed and it is time to think about putting a serious new Neu motor in the little sucker to see what she will do in the 70's and hopefully 80+'s

Andy, Douggie can not see the boat is named after him because I type it in black and he can not see that color.
