My mystery boat

   Well, I now have this thing in the front garden, looking very small next to the contender.  I still have no idea what it is, but I am going to try and turn it into a little moth type thing.....perhaps I should call it the Chrysalid?

I will post pics when it is done.

	Good grief Nessa How many boats do you have now? She must be a saint to put up with you

	She is commonly known as 'Little Saint Nik'. We have five between us, all needing work except the contender!

	there you go! Total cost of fittings and materials £84. I was lucky enough to be given the mast, boom, foils, and sail by bigum - many thanks Dan! Other parts either came from ebay or out of my bits box.

	She does indeed look fantastic - I hope you can get her to a cvrda meeting at some point so we can admire her in the flesh? Oddly, the British Moth rig suits her better than it suits the Moth! How did you find the balance worked?
