I'm hoping to be, but not sure yet. Have to see who else is going from Kent.

Otherwise your welcome to visit Margate and i'll take you out in it

My tub fitted ok too but I probably had to coax it a little bit. I had more or a problem with my side panels but have it looking ok now albeit with a gap at the front top rails.

Cheers
Stot

They were definately tight and this was splaying them out a bit so I ended up with a gap but I packed it out in places and have it looking descent now. once the nose is on etc.

Dave very kindly sent me some yellow and green gelcoat today to touch up my nosecone and other scrapes. Top bloke.

Cheers
