Got me a new toy!

A bit of work to do to finish her off.... but she's largely done, and comes complete with a gaff rig.....

not bad for £83!

Oh, I don't know - even on a bad hair day I wouldn't call Neil's hair demonic.

Sadly its many many years since my hair was demonic.... in fact, its quite a few since it was even enough to cover my forehead!

I do vividly remember a period in the eighties when 'demonic' might have been an apt description.....

Postscript..... my heir however.....

I thought he seemed a rather pleasant young man, with very good hair for the time being.

Looking good Neil, how big and where will you be sailing her ?
Have a couple of spare booms if you need them, no use to me that I can think of

I've got all the spars... but thanks anyway!

She's 8'... so quite small.... she'll hang on the davits, and be sailed wherever we are, and whenever we feel like it.... I guess mainly in the Backwaters, but also probably most places we go where there is room, and its safe to do so...

she'll carry the outboard as well so she'll be our main tender.

For £83 tis but a complete and utter bargain, and surely to be a happy ship. Sorry, wasnt sure what to make of it earlier !!!!
