Cheers Debs, your compliment is important to me due to your background.  I hope you can actually see it at some point to really see the work that went in.

I reckon about 4-5 knots but my gps will confirm it next week.  The motor was so big I had to cut the shaft down quite a bit.

It's the sail test I am really looking forward to, just finished making the sails yesterday  :y

I`d really look forward to checking her out; `remember, locally we have the lovely fishing lake of (Llyn Brenig) to try her out on. :)

I'm up for that :y

Would be a good chance to show the wife Wales which is quite important considering her maiden name is Evans (the only one in Hawaii ;D ;D)

Don't get too close to wales, Guffer. It's only a small boat and they are bloody big fish  ::) ::)


[size=8](ok, ok -- I know they are mammals, and that they are whales, not wales --- but that kinda sucks the already weak humour out of it  :P )[/size]

With your paticular talent, what do you need sails for?

To quote from the good ship venus:

When the wind wouldn't blow
And the ship wouldn't go
They called Carter the Farter to start her.
