Proper boat? That must be the corner of the Wayfarer?
(No pictures of my new boat: I was expecting to pick it up this weekend, but I have just been told it wont be ready until mid-March. That is VERY close to the first Open Meetings that we have planned...). |

I have given up trying to buy a decent second hand contender and have instead ordered a complete carbon upgrade! I am VERY excited about this and there will definitely be pics when it arrives!
(Unfortunately after the first open at Datchet, but hey, you can't have everything and I can't sail at the moment anyway) |

Welcome to the carbon age. Start saving now and buy yourself a new hull next year from Germany - much cheaper than the UK builder. Getting mine in a few weeks. |

It is just the mast and boom. The hull is still in more traditional materials. The funny thing is you can use expoxy to build a wooden boat but not a glass one. All boats are generally built under weight and carry a maximum of 6kg of correctors. The carbon rig saves a few kilograms of overall weight. |

Nice job Jim... If you don't like the shade of blue, you could add stripes.... Or flames.... It is awfully... blue....
