Thought for the day - Sealing the radio pot lid

I think I mentioned the issue of the hull going hot and cold over the weekend and water being sucked into the boat. I believe it was getting sucked in through the top of the radio pot because there was no seal. To the rescue came our winner Tony, with a disk of 2mm thick EVA foam which formed a nice seal in the top of the radio pot. It was so good, when I took the lid off the pot, the EVA foam was sucked into the radio pot but more important no more water in the hull.


I found a supply on Amazon so if you need any, that is where to go. Look for EVA foam sheets, 2mm thick, A4 size, 10 sheets in a pack which should keep you and your club in sealers for a season. All you have to do is cut them out.


It is the small details that make a difference.

Fleetwood - What did I learn

Marbleheads are just the best boats to sail. Fast, tricky to set up well but go like the clappers when you get it right. There is a report on the event on facebook MYA downwind along with a lot of go

We are sailing at one of the best facilities in the country but unfortunately the wind did not get the email and is forecast to blow across the lake all weekend with gusts up to 40 on Saturday and Sun
