OK I know, I'm a sad case talking about trollies !!
The protective covering on trollies doesnt seem to wear very well, resulting in nice scratch marks under the hulls.
Apart from Focus doitall carpet tiles with loads of glue, any handy tips available ??
cheers

Hi John,
The thin foam camping bed rolls (like a foam mat to lie on) are ideal. You can buy them in bright colours at about ?4 each from Milletts. In fact the can of Evostick to stick them on is more expensive.
Are you sure that you would not like to buy a new boat at ?4000 and save the trouble? Think of them stickey fingers!
Cheers
Bob

Another use for camping mats... [Jonathan]

...well apart from the obvious.

A ?4 foam camping mat also makes an ideal rudder cover. Just cut out two pieces slightly larger than the rudder, and stick together with duck tape.

Only takes a few minutes and its a lot cheaper than the real thing.

Jonathan.
