Proper wooden yacht

[Wansworth]

 

[Chiara’s slave]

I’ve been on board. She is quite nice, very well kitted out.

She's a real beauty, for sure, and I've seen quite a few examples of David Moss's very fine workmanship. He did some work for me, many years ago: a thoroughly decent and helpful sort of guy. A mate of mine used to own 'Felix', one of Moss's exquisite 16 foot catboats.

Nothing to do with David Moss, but this ad. caught my eye the other day: another lovely looking proper yacht, in lovely condition. There's something of a Gaunlet about her, to my eye:

'Lady Mary of Woodbridge': 30 foot sloop designed by Dr. Thomas Harrison Butler. | eBay

A lovely boat. A gaff-cutter is a very attractive rig/
