Not in the water yet, but launch date is set for 19th. I am, however, having trouble with the hatch which I am hoping to sort tomorrow.
There are a couple of pics of mine , and others, here:

Draws only 9" but weighs near three parts of a ton. She is designed as a coastal cruiser but beachable and should be good up rivers and creeks with my Honda 2.3.
hey Nobby
hows the boat? did you get a hand line rigged? did it work and how did you find it. inquiering minds and all that.
managed to get on the water for a couple hours using a hand line for cod, only got 2 and a couple of squid (bait) good times i must say. no pics sadly.

Hi Longshot
Thanks for asking.
The boat was good, unfortunately the skipper was less so. I hit a mudbank and sat on it quarter of an hour 'til the tide lifted me off. I was like a kid in a sweetshop. Overawed by everything and forgot that the buoyage works backwards going out! I had 3 days in Poole harbour but only sailed for 30 minutes because the winds were too strong. Spent a lot of time learning new things and didn't get time to fish. Had a good walk in the nature reserve and saw Sitka deer herd up close. Also saw some birds - little egrets and others - that I've never seen before and my 4th Kingfisher.
I'm off to Poole for another 3 days tomorrow. The wind forecast is better and I hope to sail rather than motor. I also want to walk up to Arne and take a look at the tumulus.
Next trip will be in mid October and then I hope to fish.
Cheers
