Spending the night cruising boat sites while eschewing the vast wasteland that is Saturday night TV. Don’t normally post links to stuff I find as I’d fill the forum up with them but this caught my eye and figured it was worth a thread if only for the amazing timber work . Enjoy .

Re: Unusual sailing vessel
I won’t make a habit of bombarding members with this stuff but one of the advantages ( if you could call it that) of insomnia is more time to look at boats 
. Last night I came on this when surfing.

Just troll through the pics and you’ll see why I posted it. It’s a tragedy that this boat is now worth less than a used car but that’s life. Timber boats are wonderful pieces of kit but not for my type of owner unfortunately. They are a true hobby in themselves and require more stewardship that ownership. It would be tragic to buy this and not cherish it.
If anyone has a classic boat boat they like please add to this thread. I’ll look at them and I’m sure others will too. It beats endless repeats of NCIS Dubbo. Not to mention late, late night tv.
