Strictly speaking that should be Cary Grant as Mother Goose in Father Goose.
I did enjoy the film too, though I would have to watch it again to remember the name of the boat!

Michael,
I stand corrected...however I can find no link to the name of the boat either!

Walter's boat, which he bought from one Mr. Van De Hoven, was named "Vrolijkheid", which is Dutch for "Glee".

Some good tips already, especially screws, please don't even think about re-using old screws, less all your hard work comes to nothing!
Two tips from me; concentrate on the hull, no point spending days sorting spars and ancillaries only to find that the hull is not redeemable and besides taking photos of everything, bag and mark each item or use white masking tape to write the items location, lest you end up with a pile of bits you can't identify or remember where they came from.
