The Archive

For those members who may not be aware, the Association holds an archive of information about the boats we represent. This consists mainly of a collection of Newsletters dating back to 1973. In these, members have described modifications made to their boats (as we still do). I am able to produce the index of modifications and improvements that were published in those earlier newsletters. Any item that you may want to see, please let me know, my address is on the front page. A small donation to Association funds may be requested to cover copying and postage.

As you can see, the list tails off considerably as the years go by, probably because everyone has used the good ideas or inherited a boat with everything done. I don't believe you! There must be many tricks and treats that you use, or some that you don't. Share them with us, anonymously if you prefer, but a bad idea shared is just as useful as a good one.
