... is worth looking out for. She was on a visitor's berth at Port Edgar this morning and I was almost overcome by her beauty and elegance. She was flying a Norwegian flag and had left by the time I returned at about 1400. Such a lovely boat! About 40' loa I guess but with such a long overhang on the counter her lwl must be at least 10' less. Looking incredibly well cared for with a beautiful golden dragon on the bow. The man was truly a master.
(Edit) A little searching reveals that she was designed to the 8Metre rule and built in 1934.
