Hi Robin, didnt even notice you only had 4 skids or I would have pointed it out, That used to seeing everybody else with 6 I suppose. I am putting this thing back together looking at all the various builds cos I aint got any plans for this. Total cost to date is still £24 but another £20 will be spent this week on more tiles and belaying pins.Just a post for the little enhancement of the gallery. a bit of plastic and a paint job basically, before and after.

A brilliant job there Moriarty!  "Working out the bottom" on the stern galleries....I still have nightmares thinking back to that part! It was like a whole build project on its own! Best of Luck with it and Anchor diagrams to follow soon!
