The things you find in an old shed in a country town.

[antiussentiment]

Last week I drove a few hours inland from Perth to inspect a cottage a friend is thinking of buying as a country getaway. In a place just down the road there's a scow Moth and what I think is a Flying Dutchman, quietly in retirement.
I've not personally viewed these. They are pics my buddy sent. She's thinking of restoring the Moth.. ..something I will encourage.

I could not see a "Old shed find" thread, so I posed this here.

Nice "barn" finds!

I'm thinking of making the Moth a project.
Hmmm...

A wooden dinghy restoration project is a very fine way to pass the time when you can't get on the water. Spoken from first-hand experience working on a 1950 International 14.

Old scows are certainly having a resurgence in Australia. Latest resto on a mid 60's mouldie.

Before even clicking on this thread, I pictured an old Flying Dutchman!

Great boat for big, strong guys. Find crew at your local rugby club.
