It's a classic i14.  I am about to try Deks olje on my woodie phantom, but not on this one - this one needs good quality varnish.  I've given up trying to do this one myself, mostly because I haven't had effective use of my right hand most of the year!  So I'm getting quotes to have it done for me.
the same, but different...

Blimey! What a lovely boat! Thumbs Up But, Errrr.... 'scuse my ignorance, but wot is it?!

Hows the sanding going??!  Have you tried Deks Olje on any of your boats?? Bring out the colour of timber really nicely & be easier to maintain than trad varnish if you are gonna use it in anger...

tut grumpf, those in the know will recognise a glorious piece of dinghy history; built to commission by Souters on the IoW back in the mid sixties, 4th in the PoW in 1965, just the most beautiful woodwork but wasted on a sybarite like you who only appreciates tacky plastic!

Can't find it but there is a 600 Hull that is next to useless as a boat, so a Bar is as good as it gets, although might be too shiny!

I believe Nessa is in the process of getting Agamemnon back to her (his?) former glory.

With a bit of TLC that woodwork would come up a treat. Check out that mast gate too!

Nice job lass.
