The brass at the back of the gearbox (handle) dosnt look as shiny as the rest rather spoils the rest and the red valve below fuel filter isnt in keeping with the rest of the paint work i dont see how you have the nerve to add a pic with the engine in that state (please fix these horrendous faults)

I'm sure that many of us here will remember just what an exciting moment that was. I certainly do - and our 'Trojan' was launched ten years ago this month.

Braidbar fitout, given the cruciform in the rudder?

Well spotted! All being well, the launch at Braidbar will be at the end of this month, and the boat will be ready in January.

I found that it was easy to rotate them using MS Paint and then saving them as a png files. Sadly, Photo Editor seems to be long gone, but thanks for the suggestion about this, Murflynn.
