Stinky to Windy
      #1906287 - 24/06/2008 21:36

I have sold my Oldenburg and bought an Alacrity 19 . Everything with the transfer of the yacht is going well but the Oldenburg .
Just before it was sold I found a crack in a weld on the trailer , So being the honest person I am , I contacted a " Welder " to repair it , To make it stronger than it was I made the axle fit properly in the "A" frame . Welder turns up cannot get an arc , Blames his kit and says He'll be back the next day . No Show . Buyer getting nervous , and I'm getting a bit P****d off . Hopefully the new welder will show up ,Do the work and I can get the Motorboat off the mooring this weekend and the Yacht on next Monday .
