Great stuff Martien, you guys are really steaming ahead! Have you heard when the Glen-L forum will be up and running again?

Hello Graham (isn't?),<br /><br />I don't know. I guess it will be after the holidays. For most of us it's a hobby, but I think that for the people of Glen-L it's a fulltime job. And I guess that they're also enjoying a well deserved holiday.<br /><br />Martien.<br /> The Riviera project

It's going to be a shame to put them in the water. Those boats are going to be so beautiful you may just want to leave them on their blocks and look at them.

pretty to look at, hard to maintain.<br />MY jealous in one respect, but know how much time<br />it takes to keep it looking that way.

When they're sheathed in glass/epoxy they should be relatively easy to maintain, no more difficult than a GRP boat really.

Hello Graham (isn't?)

Yes it's me Martien, petrolhead is just one of my many alter-egos!<br />If you go to the Glen-L forum now you get some sort of sign-in page, presumably part of the new security, I'm not quite sure what to do with it though.

We all know that building is 90% of the fun, so why bother getting them in the water, I would rather keep them inside where it's warm and dry. <br /><br /><br />Like Petrolhead says, I don't think that the maintaince will be a problem. <br />They won't be in the water more than a few weeks a year, so I'm absolutely not afraid of them being rotten within a few years.<br /><br />And if they do, it will be a nice project restoring them. <br /><br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Martien<br /> The Riviera project
