A nice piece of kit

Apologies if this one is slightly out of place, maybe somebody will put it on Scuttlebut, but I like it, but I am just glad I dont have to do the maintenance.

It must be fun cooking for 40 people in that galley with a single oven

Yes I should think that rather limits the catering, but I was more taken aback by the fact that the boat was built on a beach in the open, boy things were different then. At least after nearly 80 years it is still in commision and now has a 200HP Cummins to nudge it along when there is no wind.

The. Modern take on this is epoxy/strip plank wood construction, which leaves a shiny exterior finish and a genuine wood finish on the inside.

spirit yachts in the UK seem to be busy, But I think you'll need a very big cheque book: http://www.spirityachts.com/tablet/antigua-classic-yacht-regatta.html

still as beautiful as the original wooden planked boats.......

Which are better, dreams or just memories?

Spirit also make motor boats, the style is not to my taste, but take a look at the wood finish!

so it is possible to design a modern lightweight wood laminate hull form using epoxy and strip laminate; a nice change from the plastic Tupperware mass production boats.

I think this method of hull construction is possible as a home build project, and not that expensive to make with cedar strip planking.
