Moving one of my boats for Xmas decorations

[Refueler]

Its a Polish 'KORMORAN' 5.5m and was offered in motor boat or sail config.

Ventspils had 5 of them for the Marine School during late Soviet time. 4 disappeared when independence came - but I managed to snag one ... for 100 quid.

Its a dog to sail ... its leeway can easily match the fwd bit ! Has two steel plate hinged keels ....



Truck HIAB lifting hitch so I can remove stand.



On Mini tractor hitch



To front garden ...





Next once weather goes down - strong wind at present .. I will rig mast and Xmas lights ...

There's no Nav lights on her ..

There's no Nav lights on her ..

So red fairy lights on the port shrouds and green on the starboard?

Weathers still bl***** awful ... so I'm indoors thinking what to do with it !

Had to visit local supermarket - get rid of the empties .... had a look for a Santa Suit ... now all I have to do is pad it out ... fix in cockpit when weather improves ...

Hi Nigel Happy Christmas to you. However aren't you leaving it a bit late for Christmas decorations. I must say I was too lazy last year and this year for lights. Not so much point when sun sets around 8 Pm. Still a lot of folks go mad with lights herein Perth. ol'will
Post a photo of decorated Kormoran.
