Bargain on the year! - A Frame!
Manage to win this A frame on ebay for the pricely sum of £21!!!

Not quite as thick as I'd have ideally wanted but seeing as I was gonna shell out for an expensive one to be fabricated for me - this'll do nicely, offered it up in the boat looks good, just gotta work out how to fix it to the transom - any pointers?
It's about an inch thick and 4ft high ,3ft width bottom ,2ft width top (62cm) stainless steel


Sorry havent posted for a while been surfing in newquay!

Some big screws with big washers on the top, with washers or something hard on the inside of the tube to stop it squashing.

Something about an a-frame that makes a rib look nice. Very smart looking searider, frame looks just the right size.
