What's it all about?


(originally published 22nd April 2005)


This will, I hope, be an account of the rebuilding of a Norfolk Broads ex-hire fleet GRP lugsail dinghy.

I haven't owned a boat for four years and was beginning to get withdrawal symptoms, having had various dinghies and other sailing boats for the previous 24 years.

Lugg as he was
He needs quite a lot of work - the top of the stem has been bashed away to nothing over the years as a hire-cruiser tender, and there are cracks and scrapes at various places on the hull. The deck is knackered and will need some thought.
