Miss G Canopy issue

[ray schrauwen]

I mean it was faster for Richard to get it within the USA...

I'm in Canada...

Fixed my canopy, I didn't bother with warranty, didn't buy it for a warranty.

Keep the boat right side up and you shouldn't have any canopy issues!!!!

Are you going to bring it along Sunday?

[ray schrauwen]

Of course, it's fixed, greased & ready to go...

I'll bring this, LSO mono and, P-sport. I think I just need more rudder throw, it was setup for LSH & less weight before.

Excellent. Dress Warm.. If Smurfette is coming as well, make sure she brings Brownies!

Smurfette will be there too

No Brownies for You! (Brownie nazi)\

I might make a pot o' Chilli instead, to keep warm!

I'll post picks of my repair later. Carbon Kevlar, looks cool in the windshield.

I got to see a MG run in person for the first time today and discussed w/ the owner the concerns of the hatch. I was going to try and order a hatch, as I do not have the boat, but, Can someone send me a broken hatch? I can lay up a mold and produce FG canopies. I can get the color matched in gelcoat as well so they wont have to be painted. I can send whoever want to donate thier hatch a new part for the cost of shipping. However, Id like to see the hatch being easily repaired. I dont want to have to get out the heat gun and melt plastic to piece it back together.

Anyway, just a thought if anyone want to try. Otherwise, I may just order a hatch and make it happen.

TIqueman, will you be able to make a fg hatch that allows one to keep using the plastic under tray? That would be nice.

I dont think it will be an issue. I didnt look super close at how it all snaps together, but really, If your taping the fg hatch down, I dont see a need for the tupperware lid.

[johnf]

I wouldn't say it's needed, but it would be cool if it could still be used.

[tiqueman]

I think it will still work anyway. Hopefully I can get w/ Ron again before he leaves town and look at it more closely.

[johnf]

If I crack mine soon, I'll send it your way! Haha

If you are able to produce these I'm sure I'll grab one from ya.

Fianally some pictures...

I would send mine to you but, it would take a good 10 days for you to get it. I figured it would be quicker if you got it locally.

I used 1 layer of the 6oz Carbon/kevlar cloth under 1/32" thick ply and it still allows me to use the tupperware cover... just got that too...

[tiqueman]

I hope you dont crack one.. having a boat as cool as this down sux. But if you do.. send it!

[ray schrauwen]

few more

There are some extra layers of the cloth in the bubble area. Seems qiute robust and about the right weight.
