Meet Sixpence, as our boat is to be called

[Slow_boat]

Dave,

Very nice job.
I sailed on one of them once and nearly bought her but there was a problem with import duty. She was cutter rigged and was called Sea Dart. Very good sea boat.

I'm sure Louise will love you for that one! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Our Heron dinghy..sail number 258 wot I started sailing in..was called Sixpence, back in 1958. All the very best to your revitalised Sixpence!

Cheers Duncan, and like Neil, I have heard about THE Sea Dart, but is she the same one ?

Chris, if I had posted one of the others she would have divorced me /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks Tim, I'm just down the road from you, near Spalding, if you fancy visiting and partaking of a cuppa you are more than welcome.


Special thanks go out also to BastonJock. One problem I have is the dreaded orange peel effect on the hull and whilst I was happy to put it down to my inexperience and leave it, Matt called by this evening and after a few lessons, he has offered to come over and give Sixpence a re-spray that will give me a nice shiny blue hull that I can use as a mirror to do my make up /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif . Brilliant news, and much appreciated, thanks Matt

Nice job mr T25, that's taken some effort. Hopefully buy you a beer soon, unless of course you don't drink /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Harwich may be a bit far to start with but some time in the future, we hope, oh, and I like the suggestion but I don't think I dare ask for another name change /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Sixpence]

Oh I do, I do /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
