Hi V32 community!<br><br>I am interested in any ideas any of you have regarding the hatch cover. Mine never quite slides into the forward groove, or easily ...
Hi Matt,<br><br>I find that I can just fit the end of my pinkie finger into the hole of the hatch cover. I can then lift the hatch slightly as I slide it into...
Thanks Russell!<br><br>I have done that also, but I find that my cover will still slide back open. This is more of a problem in heavy air/seas. I might try...
It seems there is a slight curve to the hatch. I had some made - no hole - 1/8 in. wider which caused them to bend when inserted, and foud, with a litlle help...
Todd,<br><br>Good question. Technically I think it is the club secretary that handles that. However that position is presently vacant. I'll bet either Steve...

When attempting to draw the sail numbers on with ink, I discovered that the sail material allows the ink to spread as a mini-blotter. Any suggestions for ink...
I use tranparent mailing label film in my laserjet printer. It holds a crisp black, is waterproof, and is much thinner than vinyl lettering.<br><br>It's funny...
Skyswabbie, <br>I use Sharpie Brand permanent marker with a <br>computer generated "template" underneath the<br>sail as I mark on top of the sail.<br><br>The...
Arthur,<br><br>I have found that strip styrene found in most hobby stores works well for battens. Evergreen Scale Models Strip Styrene is a common brand. I ...
Arthur, <br>I used the kind of packing tape that is corded, cut about .25 inch wide and appropriate length to meet the rules. Cords run parallel to the ...
One more and hopefully my last concerning packing tape battens. We had a club race day today. It was cold, high 30s--low 40's. The tape didn't "stay stuck" ...
