Thanks Pete I’ve PM’ed you my address and looking forward to buying you copious pints of beer, I keep my boat up the Beaulieu River so I will be coming across to RIBEX daily.
My Pac 22 is still in RN grey with the original consol, I was tempted to do what you did but after seeing the work involved I chickened out. Partly that and my boat had been re-furbished 6 month before it went for disposal and I just could not bring myself to undo all the Navy’s hard work.
I would be interested to see how our boats compare because I am not sure that I have the best set up, might be able to do something during RIBEX.
