Wow, what a neat craft! I always admired the craftsmanship that is put into those classic builds. I wish we could have boats like that here in the gulf; it's borderline impossible to, considering the extreme wear that our waters and weather have on boats of any kind.

37 years to build. I can believe it. Beautiful workmanship. He took his care and it shows. He has a lot more cabin space than my Mariner 19.

I'm a big fan of this Youtube channel. Simple classic boats, wood and fiberglass, and get to know their owners in their sailing grounds.
I feel extremely lucky to sail where I do when I watched this piece on the Hamble River. Just off the Solent, this area of the UK is ground zero for sailing. Watch the vid, consider the 20+ foot tides driving a current of 5 knots, and it's Saturday morning in August.
