REMOVING DECALS, STICKERS, LOGOS from a Blaze dinghy hull

So Ians just bought an old Blaze dinghy and wanted to remove the logo's from the side. This was to make it look a little more modern and less like the 10 year old boat that it is. The forums suggested that it was simple and that all you needed was a hair dryer... this is what happened.

EP23 funNstuff Summer cruise 2015 pt4. We almost go to Fambridge and almost catch a crab… but dont

So the plan was to head off to Fambridge today, just a bit further up the Crouch, before the weather turned but it didn't happen. In brief the outboard kept cutting out so we turned back. All it turned out to be was the small lever that selects between the onboard fuel supply and the remote ta...

EP19 Scrubbing off…. scrubbing off our Red Fox trailer sailer that is!

So if you leave a yacht on a mooring sooner or later you will need to scrub off the bottom to remove the build up of weed, barnacles and slim that for some reason loves to live on antifouling paint!
