Re the arch on Butercup66's boat. Personal thing but I've owned and have an eye for a classic old Hypalon Zodiac/Avon... and that just looks wrong.

Light coat of hammerite and plenty of grease, nothing fancy, what about you?
I found they had worn quite large holes in the ply where they were fixed, I thought about moving them over slight to new holes but I just extended them to take up the slack, I figured after 30 years they had lasted fairly well and I always have the option in the future

On my D class they seem fine but on my Y class they need work.

Buttercup do you have a netting that lay over the bottle screws in your D class. If so can you send me a photo of it as I need to make one for mine. (I lost my jacket under the floor 😂
