Readers\' Boats....Warning - LOTS OF PICS!

Come on then, lets see pics of your boats, it's you're chance to show off, drool and admire other people's boats...no wider than 800px please

If this works it could be a sticky or even turn into a gallery who knows

I'll start the ball rolling:

I go for small and beautiful

serendipity.jpg


13 foot mahogany on oak clinker dinghy, shown on Windermere, built in mid '50s but the maker is unknown. Probably a one-off as the transom is not symmetrical (!). It's an 11 strake design giving fine lines. Wooden spars, but aluminium centre plate and rudder blade. I've replaced the jib with a newer red one. I also have another wooden mast and a much larger red mainsail which I am planning to convert to a lugsail so I'll have a choice of rigs.




Trimaran.jpg


My project trimaran shown on Coniston. Based on a 10ft ply skiff I was given the outriggers are made from 3mm ply and suspended on 10ft alloy poles. The unstayed mast is a combination of a Topper alloy bottom section and a sailboard mast for the top sections. The sail is a full Laser. It has a removable leeboard and the rudder is from a Phantom dinghy operated by a lever system so that I can face forward whilst sailing. It's an ongoing project as something usually breaks each time out. The last breakage was the mast step, so the next problem, now that is reinforced, may be a vast overpowering and pitch-pole. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I may sell it this year as I have less time to fiddle about.
