Join us at the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show for Pete Vincent’s Boat Repair Workshops
Aimed at the boat owner who would like to undertake simple boat repairs themselves, demonstrations will focus on basic glass fibre work and gel coat repairs. The workshops will include information on what materials to use and the standard procedures to follow in any repair work to provide the keen amateur with the knowledge and confidence to undertake straight forward repair work themselves.
Demonstrations will take place at 11.00, 12.15, 1300, 1415 and 1500 on Saturday and Sunday under the organ loft in the Great Hall.
Between demonstrations Pete and his team will be on hand to answer any specific questions you may have.

A good tip from many years of doing repairs is to use a panel file. It doesn't damage the original gel coat and takes the highs off instead clogging sandpaper on unwaxed gel-coat. Even if it's wax added, it's still much quicker and you'll get it flat unlike using a small block and sandpaper as you were showing.

Please use mask when sanding.
