The Nethercott Canoe really is one of the best looking boats ever designed. Only ever had a short sail in one, but those photos make me wonder about a change of heart on such things as centre of buoyancy compared to centre of bum.

Now if you had lined up the horizons I would not have noticed it was the same sailor!

As something a little different, here's the ticklish business of rigging a C Class Catamaran.

This is the great Cogito, former winner of the Little America's Cup, and a very influential boat indeed. There are very many better photos of USA 104 about, so I thought I'd dig out something different.

In the morning mist off Falmouth we have Steve Clark's Aethon, a 2010 built boat, and the Pilot Cutter Eve of St Mawes, built in 1997.

Both this and above at the C Class worlds last year.
