And at last one of our own boats - Merlin Rocket "Half Cut" built in 1968.
 
The original owner is still very active in the class and as the fashion then was for wider boats, he and the builder took the successful Proctor 9B design and widened it, hence the lovely curved sheerline.
Things like that just don't seem to happen now!

I know that lake, Pat!

I don't think it will look like that tomorrow, though...

Good to see a picture of "Ginger", too - Lightning 21.

Were you over the line there seems to be a shot blast on the side of the hull.
