Tom, thank you very much I appreciate you following my build.
Bob, yes they are lovely I just have to learn how to sail her well now. I managed to get her out and back in again without motor (after a fair few attempts) she went a little far over a couple of times and that gave me a few scary moments but I suppose it's part the learning to sail curve. Maybe I'll try with a little less wind until I'm a bit more used to her.
I very much like the blue on your boat and thought about copying it at one point but decided on white in the end.
All I need now is a captain and a red ensign. I have made a Union Jack for the time being because it causes more of a stir living here in France. All good fun
I will try and get a video on here (or at least a link) but don't hold your breath
Thanks to all who have taken the time to read my blog even if you didn't comment.
And a great big thanks to all those that did....it's not to late..... U2
