When the memorable thread of forumites ' boats appeared a few months ago I didn't have any decent pics of Border Maid nor had I mastered the necessary ritual to post a picture. Here she is as of today, refit 9/10 complete (famous last words).  And in case anyone asks, yes she does have a rudder!

Very pretty. Just wait until Mariposa's all painted & varnished then I'll post a pic.

This isn't really what you had in mind but:

This was in 40+ knots in the big gale in March. Very noisy but no wet or wind underneath.

What a smashing yacht you have there. I know you are very busy on her as I've seen your posts about re-routing the wet exhaust. When do you think you will get her in the water?

Ah, now there's a movable feast if ever there was one. I'm hoping to get her in by early May, but at this rate I think it may just be June. I'm buggering up my business by working all the hours I can, but this will be her second summer dry if I don;t get her in and then the drying of the hull will be... awkward. I can only do the cockpit myself, but volunteers for the sanding and varnishing are always welcome.

Nice boat Ken ....Forth bridges in the background. We put "Hera" into the water last Friday she leaked like a seive for 3 days. SWMBO and I slept on board and manned the pumps. How long have you been out of the water?
