Re: Shetland Cabin Curtain fixings/cord etc

I don't think any of the Shetland's came with fitted curtains, those holes have been introduced by a previous owner.
This is the solution I came up with. I used Rivnuts, Eye Bolts and washers, all in stainless steel.
The rivnuts are a tight sliding fit through the fiberglass and held in place with ...

Re: CARPET

I used Jumbo cord in our 535. Not only is it the cheapest foam back available,
it is also very thin making it nice and light. Its also very easy to make any joins
invisible. Comes in a range of colours. I did the bottom half of the cabin nearly two
years ago and will be doing the top half as soon as ...

Re: Club Burgees - IMPORTANT

Can you show me a picture of the burgee again please.

Also, it would be nice to have it in the header at the top
of the page. Most Sailing / Yacht / Boat Clubs etc show it
at the top of the page as soon as you hit the website.
I'm a fan of burgee's.

Re: Boat identification

I expect with you paying the reasonable £6? fee you'll be able to view
any page you like shortly. There are a few catalogues for your boat on
the page link I sent, worth looking at.
Members boats is good, great place for getting ideas and seeing how other
people have kitted out their boats.

Re: Boat identification

Here's the serial numbers for the Family Four taken from this page on the site.

You'll need a member to interpret it, I'm not sure if 9599 is 1984 or 1985.

There seems to be several models of the Family Four according to this page.

Re: Shetland 570 in Africa

£585 was a bargain price. I wonder how it got all the way to South Africa. You've made a lovely job of her, looks great now. My next boat is going to be a 570 god willing.

Re: Early Shetland?

That was kind of you Keith uploading you're rare '69' brochure, I wouldn't be surprised if Admin adds it to Boat Specs and/or Brochures, its an interesting read and very good to see a picture of the original boat. I still don't think the front is the same as the boat I originally posted about though ...

Yes I'm a bit confused with this boat. It looks like a 535 to me
