Still a lot of planks to revarnish on the inside. Bit by bit.

Great set of photos, nice boat and a super place to sail. I went over to my boat yesterday to do a few jobs on engine and water storage system. I found that the wind was blowing well in The Blackwater so went sailing instead. Hard beat up into the wind for an hour or so and then a good blast back. For the first time ever I had spray coming over the stern when on a broad reach - I reckon it was around an F6. Great way to forget about everything except boat handling.
Still need to do those jobs though.....!

Thats lovely.
So it now has a restored 'Handsome Transom'.
I foresee some useful camera work for it afloat,ahem,adorned with suitable crew.
Beautiful job there,well done.

Wasn't that boring when I was up that way at the weekend. After looking at all the plastic on the lake, we tried to walk back up the hill only to see it being washed towards us at speed. I think Windy mere is a bit shallower now.
