by the way you need a plug to make a mould, as we have a few moulds around there must have been a plug of some discription....

sorry the plugs dont last. as soon as they are used more often than not they are ditched or re-cycled
most of our plugs are made here.. some are sub contracted off site.

Yeah, I know that I shouldnt pile in to this 'discussion' but I have a low bovine fertilser threshold. What ISO stds do you build your ribs to? I'm presuming that you mean you are registered to ISO9002? No details on your website.

Leeway,
Do your different length hulls have different beams? Or are they just extended off a horter hull, or shortened off a longer hull?

when i make new plugs, i don't expect to keep them as mine normally crack and break up when i remove the mould off it. if i was able to keep plugs and patterns for everything that i do, i would need a workshop 4 times the size, just to store them.

Very true with an original timber plug. but Leeway usualy cleans any wax and plastercine off, pops it back on the trailer, and tries to sell it on boatmad, or boats and outboards.
Tell em about ya Phantom 25 Lee, ...go on. (please don't force me to call ya bluff)
