We recently bought an Enterprise built by Bell Woodworking sail number 8000 + and it has vertical conical self balers about 25mm diametre, does anyone out there no how these work, there seems to be no working parts? It is possible that these are damaged or have something missing, so does anyone know if are they still available and if so where.

I have a Supergrad and recently snapped the rudder which was lost. Where can I get a template for making another ?

Thanks

Just added an article to Go Sail about the Even Keel project. A very worthwhile project which provides sailing experiences for those with disabilities and disadvantaged children.

Hi

I have a vega 18 trailer sailer which is fibreglass and i have a problem with the swing keel, it seems to slap from side to side in the keel box. I have been unable to get any drawings or information regarding the layout of the keel and I would be very grateful for any information you can give.

Thanks in hope! Rob Michalski
