Lets see them

You are posting the url to a page, not an image. If you go to that page, over to the right of the picture is a box with IMG Code above it. Click on that box, and it will copy the correct image url with the image tags, and all you need to is paste it into a post here.
 
Re: Lets see them re Cleone

I think that is very much like Ramsholt Quay - after getting very muddy doing Roach's mid-season scrub on Pin Mill's posts, I think I will use Ramsholt Quay next time.
 
What a great idea!
Your pictures have lifted my spirits and inspired me to get on with my winter boat work
Here's some photos of Arlil during our summer sail 2007, including Crinan Classic boat festival.
She is a 1936 yawl built by Elkins, 28 feet long, pitch pine on oak frames.

Not stealing T25's job here, but you have to set up an account with Photobucket.com here and upload your picture to your "album" on photobucket. Best make them small Jpg images. Then, when you want one in your post here, you first go to photobucket (it helps to have it open in a separate tab or window) and go to your image, click on the IMG line below the picture (it'll copy automatically) and the in your post box, click the Blued "Image" and paste it into your post.

If you get an [image]picture[/image] in the HTML code as you write, you can delete these or they'll show up in the post. I think that's it. Takes a minute with practice. Hope this helps, and I stand to be corrected if I've missed anything.
 
If you click on IMG in photobucket, it included the Image tags, so no need to click on Image when you post here, just paste inthe code from Photobucket.

As for Ocean Pearl, what a babe! But you need a bit of a crew to saill her though don't you, Seanick?

Well yes and no. In light airs I took her out twice by myself last year. I found the adrenaline helped with raising the main....... However thats not really the idea, and we try and get as many people on the boat as possible. My partner and I have sailed her often by ourselves. Anything over a four and its just mizzen and headsails only. She does like to be driven though, and really she is underrigged (my fault!) We had a cracking close reach in Sept in 15 to 20 knots of wind. Smooth water, full main and working jib. 3 crew, steady 8 1/4knots with and electric trailing log.
Not bad for an old motor boat !

Re: Ramsholt

Colours were thought about long and hard.
Vic was black when I found her (An awfull colour for a wooden boat especially if the owner has wild ideas sailing away south) and and Bulwark planking was a faded mid blue.
lacking any info about colours when she was first built, I decided to change her as little as possable
Light grey pays some homage to her original monocrome topsides. No need to change her Blue bulwarks.
Transcur was launched in plenty of time for me to realise I was intending very much the same colours, And I had decided to think again.. But then someone offered me good quality paint at very nice price. 25 liters Sea Grey, 10 liters Mid Blue.. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: Ramsholt

Victorious, now its turning into 'Lets see em, before and after', or is that the other way round?

OOhh, I'd love a wooden boat but there so much work.....

'thats a nice boat,are you going to do it up?

'Why is there so much grass on the decks??' /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
Re: Ramsholt

Blimey victorious! How long did that take you? Were you allowed to spend your pocket money on her and now you are wondering if your pension will run to a new topsail?

Hats off to you, mate!

Re: Ramsholt

Yeah I'd like to go all black paint but I think the hull wouldn't like it...
although there seems to be a lot of pilot cutters and smacks painted black.
When I got Carlotta there wasn't any grass growing - but there was small birdnest aft of the ruddertrunk!
 
Re: Ramsholt

Here is Hannah.

My parents had her built in 1968.
We had her for ten years, then she was sold outside the family, until I bought her back into the family nearly nine years ago. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
