Meet \"Damarri\" !
First off I must thank Top Cat for his excellent explanation of how to get pictures in a posting..... and I hope this works!
About eight years ago I sold my old boat to start on THE retirement project. Ever since then most of the sailing I have done has been in books and on this bl***y computer. I bought a set of plans from Alan Pape, had the steel hull built by Richards Drydock in Great Yarmouth, shipped it by road down to my home in Sussex and for the last seven and a half years I have spent every spare moment fitting her out.....
We're nearly there!
She is very nearly finished and I expect to lift her out of here within the next couple of weeks. Then she will be taken by road to Eastbourne where I will add the ballast and a few other heavy bits, the mast will be stepped and then..... THE FLOAT TEST !
Sincere thanks to all who have answered my many questions over the years.... as you can now see, it was all in a good cause!
Paul.
