Very nice indeed ,thanks for sharing.

I've got one of these sat on the shelf awaiting restoration over the winter.

Absolutely loads of them about but for some reason no matter how many turn up down at the lake it's always great to see them, each one is so different and a great boat just to get on the water and sail.
Look forward to seeing more of her.
