Just thought I would put some pics of my Phantom yacht on here, I had to redesign the notoriously leaky hatch (a problem that needs resolving by the manufacturers!).....hopefully the redesign will help other owners of this type of yacht, as basically the yacht Is fairly ok for just mulling around on the lake, I don't think Its quite good enough to race except against other phantom type yachts!......whilst doing the redesign I thought I would give her a repaint also, In my opinion she looks better than the carbon fibre effect. I also re-rigged her with fishing dacron cord (doesn't stretch).
She sails well now and Is totally waterproof!!.......hope you enjoy the pics and If you do own a leaky phantom just let me know If you want any advice on curing this problem!
Regards, Dave
