I don't have a problem with it being overweight, just correcting the term "not real carbon".

"Calm down dear".....................

Whamm is a fantastic boat, great across the wind ranges! & she gave everyone a run for their money at the Nats and I used to get some good places and trophys with her at my home club. Stu, it doesnt matter she is overweight - these kids just wana get some propper sailing going and Ecocats is the way forward (sorry, still cant say Whamm!) & anyway, she is only a little heavier dan the Strawberry & lets not forget shes an old wooden boat!

As for the carbon, not real carbon - at the end of the day it works & yes we can all go into technical jargon why a tube is the same strength as a bar yarda yarda!

New owners of 2539 - I have one word which I know you will take onto the water, ENJOY!!!! & we hope to see you at the Chew blast.

THANKS ANDY! And Yeah 2539 is all nearly ready for the water, just need the Whaam signwriting to be added again, but its only the W we have to do on that so it on't take long.

Ginger_69's grandad is sorting out the mast and although  it won't be a paticularly good one, it will get us on the water having fun until we can find a better one. And yeah if we are all here, we WILL definately be at the blast.

I'm not slating the boat. She's a legend, no doubt bout that!

I'm slating comments like:
"ye but ours is better than real carbon its home made carbon with a strong bit (wood)"

there are two sorts of carbon...

the lovely expensive processed woven stuff that is a black colour, and that nice cheap(er) organic stuff that is usually brown.

...so you've got an organic carbon boat with processed carbon trim...

Oooh, get you old men warbling on about carbon!! All I care about is that there are no more holes (congrats on that frank n ed) that we have a boat that goes like the clappers!!!!  

Yeah, strawberry, don't diss! That boat is a complete legend!!
