Look forward to plenty of photographs please- very useful for repairs (for those of us who acquired secondhand boats built by someone else) or have forgotten what's inside.

For those of us who got ours secondhand it's great to see the insides. Thanks for excellent photo story.

No problem. I had intended to take a lot more photos but got so involved I forgot<img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle>
I am currently fairing the hull which doesnt make good photos, and am having a few days off the build. Spent one of them collecting my new Bermudan rig from Speedsails and am well impressed, of course I dont know if it works yet <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Today 70466 ceased being a load of ply and became A MEASURED MIRROR 90 days after starting. She will be called "WEN" and will be on the water Saturday.
Would I do it again ? most definately BUT not in winter ! Heating the boat , epoxy and paint are all a pain!

Thanx Clare, your old sails are still looking good, even though they are now on a Bermudan !
