Hi Will

This weekend I went to Bendigo, picked up 5 sheets of Gaboon Ply, and 3 sheets of other marine ply, and 4 half sheets of Gaboon/Other from Jim Boyer, And the most beautifully hand crafted centreboard you've ever seen, that was used as a plug, All for $114.

Also got a spare boom section and a length of aluminium (for lacing up tramps etc.) for all the silver and gold coins in my wallet (about $4.25)

Had a bit of chat for a while, he is sub contracting to Todd Pickering, building the mosquitos mainly as well as the Geltec Flyer.

His very empty factory had one mossie in there, which he was repairing.

Hes always been a really good guy to talk to, and although hes quite happy to be shutting down Boyer Fibrecraft, its real shame at the same time.

But I'm on a promise to finish off the boat before start off season, so thats my winter taken care of, still just a little bit to go, but finding the time recently has been the challenge, should start quieting down now though, which will help.

Regards
