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

A Moody, Nick?

She has very nice lines Nick - what breed, assuming of course trhat she is Moody by name but not nature?
Oh and the Dart in sunshine -unusual phenomenon in recent summers.

Robin, thanks. not a Moody, that is just my old username.

She is a Starlight39 which we bought in Ireland and sailed back in October.
 
Un moody Starlight

Ah yes , of course, a fine sailing vessel indeed - and may the luck of the Irish sail with her.
Fair winds and tides.

My project, still Work In Progress.
Struggling for a name, SWMBO has named her "The garden gnome".

33 years old and never had a wet bottom.
Hopefully will be in Port Edgar July-ish

I think I remember looking at that boat on the broker's website. Was quite tempting really.
Have you had the Petter running? Is it a keeper?

Yes Rob, she's a keeper, I realised that by the time I had saved up for a S&S Swan 38 I wouldn't be able to enjoy it. With all that tumblehome, I reckon the "Frigate" is just like a mini Swan 38.
I equate this to finding a unused MGB GT Chrome bumper in a barn.
There is a lot to do, because we want to cruise the West coast in some comfort.
I am adding shorepower and Tacktick instruments.
The Petter is being replaced by a Yanmar 2YM15, it's actually shorter than the Petter and only 15Kg heavier. I didn't fancy getting stuck in weather for the want of some grunt in the donkey.
I am keeping a photo diary of the mods if your'e interested.

I'll start the ball rolling:

Absolutely PERFECT.
 
I'll stop lurking and post on this thread. The following is my ownership progression:

22' Sea Sprite w/ 5 HP Tohatsu 2-Stroke
25' International Folkboat w/ Volvo MD1 Diesel
23' Steiger Craft Block Island w/ 250 HP Mercury 2-Stroke
18' KenCraft Challenger 190 w/ 130 HP Honda 4-Stroke

The change from sail to power was prompted by the construction of a pier upstream from a low bridge.

My wife has one like that only it's a bit better than you started with! Thinking of doing the upholstery soon - do you have a source for bits? Could also do with some new decals if you know where to get them?
