Pic of your wooden dinghy sailing.

[Steam Flyer]

Here is my 18 footer. Please don't give me a hard time about the sail trim. That picture was taken about five minutes after the boat was launched for the first time and there were a number of things not quite right.

The sail trim looks fine. I'd recommend a bit more outhaul tension on the main, though...



Great looking boat! Serious congrats!

Wait, What? NO hard time? When you are pointing it out?  OMG!  Did you buy that mainsail at the Michelin store?

Only kidding. Not. OK only in fun.   Nice boat! Looks like the San Francisco Bird Boat would have looked like if it had been meant to look really sweet.

Nice! What's the design?

It is my design which is based on a 1930s Monk design full keel sloop I restored in the 1970s. . The new one weighs about a quarter as much and has a modern underbody.

Not actually Sailing here but about to set off for UK OK Dinghy National Championships probably in the mid 80’s at a guess

This OK Dinghy was the last all-wood boat that I owned, back in the days when even the spars were wood.

That's a very English looking situation. Unfamiliar cars, cool curvaceous camp trailer, driving on the wrong side of the street and best of all, wooden racing dinghies!

Oh, the car is a Citroen I think. French, hard-chined, and made of aluminium and GRP.  :lol: My father had one in a light "garbage-bag blue" with grey velvet seats. Tres chic!

Looks like a Citroen BX to me

It is, my dad owned two of those... The 16v GTi was a little beast

My Uffa Fox designed Albacore, and not shown I also have an Ackroyd like Steve Clark is restoring. Both are great boats that demonstrate the advances in hull form design and sail plans for their respective entries into the market.
