No. It's come up with a picture of a Barbary Ketch.
Back to the drawing board.

I like your doghouse. What is the windscreen construction? Is it alloy between the panes? Who built the boat?

I see Dabchick everytime I go out from Fareham, looks a great party boat! We used to have a Colvic Watson 35 for nearly 20 years......

Yipee: it works! I have previously tried to follow the instructions and got stuck, the new ones are very easy to follow!
I can now inflict "where is it" posts on the forum: any takers for this one, clue not Port Solent!
I am impressed lakesailor recognises the Barbary ketch!
In reply to Searush: they were built by Fred Mitchell`s yard in Poole in the 1970`s, ours was built in 1979, the yard exists but the Barbary Ketch and it`s big sister the Alantic Ketch are long since out of production. They are so heavily built I fear they would be prohibtively expensive to build these days, good job they are heavily built to survive our escapades!
The wheelhouse is open at the back but enclosed with a canopy when needed and is Aluminium frames with glass and a GRP roof: the anodising on the frames is a bit supect and the rubber gaskets rather tired but it functions and it is either a major rebuild or a little sealant occasionally!

We do have the occasional party and occasionally the worse for wear afterwards!

I read it in your profile. Bet you're not so impressed now. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Here at http://grenadasailing.com/sale/barbary.htm is a slightly tired Barbary ketch - she has been languishing in Grenada for some time now, and could be an interesting project.........
