kind of.... although P&B were such a bunch of Charlie's I wasted a couple of months just with them. Add to that some scum bag robbers nicking my trolley which took forever to make anyway and I've had plenty of time to draw me pictures!! I also need to plan stuff out and ponder it and I thought it would be useful for everyone too. Plus doing it slowly is also good for my cash flow.

I find those moments betwen checking in and boarding flights are quite good for thinking about bits of boat making lists of things needed and sketching diagrams for layups. Best thing is your thoughts don't get interupted. Thanks for posting your drawings I'm sure they will be useful to me at some point.

Just in case anyone thought that I really wasn't building a boat! Here she is. Edging that little bit closer to the water. And the best thing? When I got her home from painting my boy said with big wide eyes " that's mental, it's going to be crazy, I can't wait! " :-)

Nice work. Are those B14 style removeable racks?

Yes, and thanks, they are indeed B14 style removable racks. I have another narrow set for Cherubing. And there will be floats for a Trimaran, maybe next year.

I decided to design the boat with a removable rack system so I could get as much use out of the boat as possible, with all sorts of crews and sailing locations in mind.

Not so fast... I've got to get the boat back from Mr Cooke first. And then convince me lad he's not going to die sailing it! I keep showing him pictures of Eddie, and he's warming to the idea. Then I add... we'll put the small sails on first, and the hiking racks, it'll be just like the Mirror.  ;D I'm not sure I've convinced him!  ;D

This boat is so versatile!

it even has a number plate and indicators so you can sail to events as well as at them.

beating up the M4 could be tricky though. ;D

More of a streamlined caravan, the amount of times it has been down the M4 and M5.  :'(
