Re: Int 14 project
Just a quick progress report...
It always feels good to get the first coat on to see the timber come to life...
A first very dilute coat on the inside, Plenty of work still on the outside to do.

That cannot be the same wreckage you showed me a couple of years ago, surely?
Well done, that man.

Yes it is but whether it is a boat or a sieve might be another matter.
Re: Int 14 project
Rupert - surely you realise that a sieve uses gravity to allow water out. A boat uses gravity to allow water in!!

However the Jumblies went to sea in a sieve!

Re: Int 14 project
I saw her last night for the first time for some time and all I could say was Wow. She really does look spectacular.
Hard to believe she is the same boat that hid in Chris shed hoping he didnt have the heart to break her up. Thankfully he is the man for the job and has done her full justice. I cant wait to see her at Shearwater, hopefully she will float long enough to get some pictures of her.
