Hi Paul,
Thanks for your phone message but was unable to return your call. As you know I'm sending this from Crete. As far as I can tell I'll be able to join you.

Hi Polski ,

The forecast is good except for rain from Sunday mid day to Monday mid day.

Hi Doughie,

I've fitted a pedestal to my F4. I've done it by fibre glassing 10mm ply to the deck and coach bolting to it.

Good luck!
