There aren't many things that Rob has inserted for the first and last time... But this was one of them!

With the conotations that post conjures up, it is, perhaps, a good decision not to make a comment on it, other than "ooer missus" !jonwrightk7 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2017 8:43 pmThere aren't many things that Rob has inserted for the first and last time... But this was one of them!![]()

Cool picture today. Love it.

Progress defies words, as ever over past some years.
Apart from color, iirc there was something specially slippery about the original bottom paint. Any thoughts about replicating that or not?

Ah Graphspeed - I remember covering the bottom of GP14s with it back in my rag and stick days (a very long time ago). Expensive stuff, and I don't recall it making a whit of difference.
Re: Pic of the Day
A quick Google seems to find many folk who agree that it never made a blind bit of difference! (Although I did also see a mention of a racing boat being disqualified when it was found to be coated in the stuff)
