Bob Wonderful photo of a cross section of a GPA!!! But when I remember which GPA this was it is truly sad, considering it was one of the most beautiful GPAs and one of the few I sailed in, too. I don't like to see a photo like that of it. But from what I can see from the photos, and from what little...

Thanks a lot for the link and pictures. You have a wonderful GPA, it looks great! I learnt a lot of things from it, one of the things I was amazed about was that the chassis number is so early and that there are a lot of parts from the second series already together with parts from the first series....

Hi David I also have an early GPA, could you pls post some of your GPA photos to share? My GPA was all dismantled into parts when I bought it and consequently many parts were lost! If you could post or e-mail me photos of the capstan winch frame, front deck and floor panels, in particular, I would a...

I was browsing the internet and came across this GPA engine (no. 488). Does anyone know to whom it belongs?




Thanks

It truly was a great find, it took me a while but with persevierance I finally was lucky enough to get it, I actually bought it way back in June but it took quite a while to get here!!!!

Another part struck off my long list of needed parts :D

Thks guys

Luc remember you were one of the first persons from whom I started to get the much needed parts!

Great work Donovan, keep us updated with your progress.

Leo knows what I mean as he is doing the same job, however his progress is further than mine. Maybe one day we can swim our GPA's together. Also saw Rich...

Hi David I have an early GPA and my side panels are like the ones in your photo. From your chassis no. one can see that your GPA is early. As far as I know, those panels go with the early GPAs who also have the lifting rings on the chassis/frame and not on the deck. On the upper railing you should a...

Finally started restoration on my GPA. And I have met with my 'first problem' ! Here is a picture of the wheel arch - the area in question. As you can see it is all rusty and I cannot see whether the wheel arch continues in one piece with the rear bottom. Or whether the rear bottom is made out of an...

And by the way, it's not mine!!!!
