Ian and Jack?)</font></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><font face='Courier New' size='2'>After a long winter with little or no time 
to build the plywood in my basement finally was cut to many pieces. Afterdeck 
rail stanchions, stem, bracket for the drag link and leeboard bearing boards: 
all cut and laminated.</font></div><div><font face='Courier New' size='2'>The leeboard bearings are supposed to be 
cut from 1/4 inch Nylon sheet. After several phone calls to firms in Oslo I 
ended up with the option to buy a sheet of nylon, far to big for my purpose, to 
the prize of NOK 2300, abt.&nbsp;USD 350!</font></div><div><font face='Courier New' size='2'></font>&nbsp;</div><div><font face='Courier New' size='2'>So here is my tip: I bought plastic cutting 
boards from IKEA, NOK 19 a piece (USD 2,50). I guess I will need 17 or 18 of 
them = USD 45 total! The boards I found are 10 mm, a bit heftier than PCB 
recommends. Shouldn&#39;t make my boat sink.</font></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><font face='Courier New' size='2'>Bjorn in Oslo</font></div></html></div>
