Chris & Sue - would you let me know what your builder number is please? As
Membership Secretary of the Europa Club, I try to keep tabs on all Europas,
even if they're not being built by Europa Club members. The last builder
list that the Lakeland office passed to me doesn't have your name on it yet.
{usual blatant commercial follows}
To find out more about the Europa Club, e-mail me at:

One of the lightest (& thus best performing) Europas over here was built
(by Jon Tye) entirely using a very simple beam balance. Ratio balances
(several designs have been published), electronic scales, and epoxy pumps
can all be equally effective, but require slightly different working
methods, and perhaps you might find one or other more in harmony with your
own approach. No doubt there will be a number of opinions on what's best.
Happy building!
