Hi all,
you guys are unreal thanks for the support. This realy does feel like a community of sailors, certainly makes me feel better.

Still don't know what I am going to do with Altered will be getting it looked at by others this weekend, I am still going to take it to Colac, am sure I will get lots of expert? opinions but there will be at least one boatbuilder there with experience of this kind of repair. I hope to get it fixed by a boatbuilder, as I just don't have time available now. If I can't get it fixed by boatbuilder I will be in further touch with Darryl and Phil there expertise is much appreciated.

Regards Gary.
