The key change is that we've managed to work out a way around the problem with the server configuration which meant that some browsers just saw plain HTML instead of the properly formatted page - I've implemented the change across the site. The change has also meant that the top-of-page menus are working again for those who prefer a non-frames version of the site. As always, please let me know if you are having problems with the site - if you can tell me what browser and version you're using, that helps enormously. Finally, as Rowland mentioned in his recent email, we are having problems with the Members-Only area - it's another server problem and Avnet have been informed.

Can someone who is more familiar with the sternpost setup advise me as to when in the earlier part of the build it was temporarily attached? The rationale is to temporarily attach it, irrespective of the 76 mm dimension given in the manual, as to become the controlling rear datum width for the width of the rear section. My friend tells me that he, and I recall many others have talked about the unusual amount of force required to distort the rear fuse to minimise gaps around the rudder. This has been offered up as a solution, or at least an aid, plus it will also allow me to set the rear section plumb, so that when I retemplate up my rear bulkhead ahead of the torque tube, I can do so such that it holds any small amount of twist required to keep the sternpost vertical and plumb, as the rest of my fuse is level. So, is this a good idea or not??? Reg Tony Renshaw ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 04:58:48 PM PST US From: Tony Renshaw Subject: Europa-List: Sternpost top rebates????? --> Europa-List message posted by: Tony Renshaw Can someone further ahead please tell me what the rebates either side at the top of the sternpost are for? One of them conflicts with the top hinge point of my rudder. The other thing I have noticed from temporarily clecoing it in place is that I can easily distort away from vertical. I haven't got my front bulkhead in though yet. So, if I was to set up the sternpost vertically before templating up my rear bulkhead, can I simply take a mid point at the top and put it over the longitudinal axis???? Sorry if everyone gets 2 of this message. I too am getting duplicated messages. Reg Tony Renshaw
