Thanks Peter and David, I'll try FGI first as they're just around the corner from my work.

Peter,

It's not a big drama. I sailed with a "crunchy" foam frame for most of last season and I need to replace it as I have cracks in the deck where it has been flexing. I should have done it earlier but I have found myself on the committee for the Yacht club this year and that has taken up a fair bit of time. ( Plus I've been whimping out and putting off cutting a hole in my deck given my lack of knowledege in this area!) <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I was considering re-decking the working deck but have decided to go with key-hole surgery. I figure that as long as I get the strength right, any untidy workmanship can be fixed with bog and paint. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />I am also fitting my new centre boards.

Looking forward to the learning experience and the fumes.

Cheers
