As the title says, thanks to Graham Sheppard of Hunter Systems for sending me the coloured ribbons for the Long Tail boat...

(I've plenty left for the next one, which is to be a bit bigger...36'' x 5'')

What will he use to tie his hair back with now

Always helpful to us boaters, thumbs up for everything over the years

He hasn't got enough hair to need a ribbon...

It's only been bath tested so far, it's so tender I don't dare take it out on the local lake in anything over a flat calm. It wants to fall over in the bath, there's too much top weight in it. Hence the building of a bigger one...my mate Andy down in Bristol is building me a plank on frame hull, 36'' x 5'', with a bit more depth to it, so I'm going to try again. This one has been a right SOB to build, hiding everything away in such a tiny hull, but it's been a good test bed for the bigger one.

It looks great Rich . nicely built as well

It looks as scruffy as heck, I tried to make it authentic and failed, I think. The next one will be based on a nice clean prototype...
