Found at HRR
Someone else found it but it has been passed on to me for reasons.
Many of you following HRR might recognise it.
I'm arranging for it to be sent back to Norway.

Timber 'honour boards' question (London UK)
I've been asked to quote on painting a large coat of arms to go at the top of a timber honour board in a sporting club.
Not my usual thing, but I'm game to try it.
However, the club has also asked me about refinishing the whole timber board. It is being repurposed from another use.
It was previously used for a different sporting event and all the old vinyl lettering (calm yourselves...) has been removed, but it has left some UV marks.
These might disappear with time, but maybe not.
Not my area of expertise.
If I posted photos, could anyone advise what work might need to be done?
Cleaning? Light sand and new coating (no idea what finished used)?
Anyone in the area who might be able to help if I needed it?

New boat mount design ideas
These might only have limited application due to how specific they are, but I've launched a new Peach/GoPro mount design and also a wing rigger clip design that can fit multiple mounting types.
Available at The Flying Boatman.
Peach screen mount.
Many clubs fit the screens out on the saxboard edge.
Using standard GoPro-tripod mounts works, but since those have 1/4" bolts it means the rigger hole needs to be enlarged (not ideal) and there is a risk that someone mixes up the nuts and puts an M6 on that or vice-versa.
It also can act as a GoPro mount if you want that camera angle.
I prototyped some alloy brackets to give more mounting options, but not sure those would be popular. Same 3d printed mount, but the alloy part means you can swing the screen into many different locations (combined with 3 options for orienting the 3d printed part).
The other product was also in response to requests for mounting a Peach screen, but along the way I realised that any wing rigger clip could be a universal mounting for other things like NK Speedcoaches or a Quadlock mount. A brass threaded insert is heat pressed into the clip and then a standard M5 rowing shoe bolt can fix the different options.
The only problem is that the shape of the clip is rigger specific. At the moment I've only done Empacher alloy. If the concept was popular I could measure (or scan?) other brands/shapes of rigger.
I think the newer telemetry system, XBoat, uses an NK mount on the back of their units so that is also an option.
