Well done!

Here is another one I sailed in the 70's,she was called Lillian and designed by Derek Kelsall.

We lost her in the Atlantic in 1975.

That looks like a great boat in the tradition of getting out to sea as cheap as possible with the greatest amount of fun. I hope you have many happy hours sailing with her.

Nice, she's an Atlantic with cool lines. Sweet, with that rig she probably left many in the dust...
Thanx for the photos, good detail.
Sorry you lost her....
All d best.
BSY.

Yea, she's pretty cheap, but a bit complex....
now the plan is to simplify her.... u live u learn.
I hope later on this year I have time to get back to her, she needs a new rig, the schooner is a bit much......
But Yea, she is amazing to sail, we love her.
