jakemildren Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I was lucky enough to procure a nearly complete mosquito to repair, it does have 90% of the rig minnus a few wire stays. I have center boards, rudders, the trampoline, and everything else i need. The "slight" problem with the boat is that during a spectacular cartwheel the port hull is snapped in half, so my project is to drop the damaged hull, buy/make a new hull (preferably buy), fit it on, paint both hulls. Where would i be able to get a hold of a spare hull? how much may it cost? And of course any tips would be much appreciated. Cheers, Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_taipan117 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'd suggest putting the same question to the mosquito forum on catsailor.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darcy1945 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 It may be easier and cheaper to repair the damaged hull than to replace it, unless you are racing and competitive, a few kgs of repair work will not have a great effect on performance.
