OK so we're half way through April and the event is in August, four months away. I do work for a living, and the boat is 10 miles away, in Simon's garage, I can't just nip out and do a bit every evening. The 12 is arriving on Friday and I've got a load of events planned in that this year with lots of sailing and practising as we go, as well as planning on finishing my house and getting it on the market and hopefully moving. At the moment it is simply a shell as per the picture, and although I fully expect it to look something like a racked Cherub with a mast etc by that time, as anyone who has built one will know, it's that horrible bit at the end where you need to get what looks like a nearly finished boat to a boat that actually works which takes the time!
It's just not going to happen! Suicide Blonde's conversion took longer than that! I don't want to either do a rush job or spend every spare minute working on the thing...end of discussion!
