In reply to Newboy's enquiry about progress on 814 .... none I'm afraid. It's definitley not tropical in Kent; and it's simply too cold to contemplate painting or varnishing in my garage at present.

Years ago I built an International Moth (when it was still possible to build competitve boats from plans). It was a Sprite, which I think was designed by Chris Eyre. Anyway, my poor mother was struck down by a severe bout flu on Christmas Eve and didn't surface from her sick bed until New Year.

In the mean time I moved my Moth indoors to the dining room, where I was able to add up to two coats of paint or varnish per day. My Dad, sister and I managed all the Christmas food etc from the kitchen. And everyone was happy - apparently.

However, when poor mum emerged from her sick bed she was highly unimpressed by my lateral thinking and quickly ordered my winter project out of the house and back to the garage! (Sorry Mum!).

My wife knows about this piece of family folklore.... and I have been warned. So 814 is in limbo at present....

I think I might manage to bring the rudder and centreboard into the kitchen without too much bother (and I know my wife doesn't look at this site!).

Happy Christmas to all
Mart 814

Hi
Nice pictures.
As not everyone in the Moth Association uses this site I was wondering if you could do an article to go in the Chrysailis. Maybe about the restoration of 814 or just about how you found yourself in a Moth.

So hows it all going? is she floating yet?

I spoke with John Claridge about kits and he said that if there is a demand even a small one he will produce a kit. It will be some time away as he is working hard to build six Moths for his Juniors.

I have been to visit John Claridge this week and he is coming on well with the fiberglass hulls.

I chatted with him about the new Nationals format and he tells me that he will try to bring along some of the Salterns members to sail if not for the complete week then for the Friday Junior champs and the Sat Open.

I have found some more photos of 814 that show her refurb.

I dont know if all three will appear, but let's see what happens.

The first shows the sorry state of the varnish. Note the part-painted transom and water damage to the aft deck.

The second shows the transom and bottom of the hull part stripped.

The third shows how she looks after just 2 coats of varnish.

Hi All

ASBO will be on the stand at the Dinghy Show in 2010 complete with Carbon Mast, Boom and stock. ASBO Will also be sporting a new sail for the ocassion so should turn some heads.

If anyone has any good photos that are sharp and able to be blown up could they email them to Abby or Myself and we will see if they can be used on the stand.

The stand is a great place to show off our Boat but to do that we need help. In the new year we will be looking for help on and off the stand.
