Ban the man ! It's winter here !
The rest of the world has just been cut off from Exmoor by heavy rain and pr*ts who think they can drive ordinary cars through 2 ft of floodwater.
PS yes lovely photo, really lovely. Just how kids should learn to sail /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Look on the bright side - it is obviously a high-maintenance boat, so there will be lots of q's on here about how to look after the teak decking and the brightwork and how to stop the winches going green /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[/ QUOTE ] It is indeed Kate, the 12 metre launched in 2007.
I was lucky enough to crew on, and live aboard, her in the recent Golden Rock Regatta.

The same thought came to me - it looks like pitch pine in one of the shots - but you are a braver man than me /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Twister Ken, your reputation is intact, it is not teak.
Damo, nor is it pitch pine.
I seem to recall it is possibly fir/spruce (hull is Sitka spruce )of some kind but will check for you.

[/ QUOTE ]Although I wondered what happens when the horse gets caught short. The driver has already got a major blind spot by way of the horse, and he might get blinded by somethings else if the horse gets the squits...
