Esme (Mystery Launch)
Nathan Herbert has sent in another image from the camera of photographer, G. Riethmaier. The location should be relatively easy – launch in the foreground, maybe not so easy ? 🙂
What say the woodys?
The answer is – she is Esme – details here https://waitematawoodys.com/2014/09/12/esme-2/
Urgent Help Needed On A Boys P-Class Restoration
Woody Dan Renall is working on the ultimate birthday present for his 5 yr old son, George, a P-Class yacht. But time is not his friend – read below.
“Does anybody have a P Class tiller kicking around that I can use as a template. The project is in its final stages but I’m missing a tiller and the rudder is beyond repair.
I’m running out of time so better yet…does anybody have a rudder / tiller for sale or know where I could buy one?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Dan”
ps Pretty cool playground chat on day one of school – “want to see my yacht” 🙂
