Ahoy,
the Ol'Girl has a fitted Hydrovane, the fitting was done whilst a passenger ferry came and went repeatedly twenty meters away and I was sat in a dingy for the most part of two days, scratching my head, cussing and staring at the plans like the simpleton I am, trying to work out the best way to do it. Such minor grumbles out the way, I am moderately pleased with the result, I have not tested it out at sea yet but it seems level and strong just not pretty. A bit like the Ol' Girl. Many thanks to John and Tina on Sunbird and to John and Will at Hydrovane for providing information suitable for the Ol' Girl.
As yet I have still not heard back from any insurers, it's more than frustrating now, I would like to know one way or the other, is the mission due another delay because of insurance or will one of them come through. Working on the Ol' Girl from the dingy has worn my brain, my legs and my back out a little bit, so I'm going to keep this brie.
