Back in the water after 50 years on the hard

[sailorthom]

Recently launched this little skiff after it spent the last 50 years decorating a nautical gift shop. 6 year restoration and more money than I ever estimated! (Don't tell my wife.) She sailed beautifully, She is all Teak,which explains why she didn't rot away. I estimate it to be 75 years old. She attracts people like a new kitten or a puppy dog. AAH! Hope to do some wooden boat shows.

Very cool little boat! Congratulations on redeeming her. Do you have any more pictures?

Yeah that is lovely isn't it ? Definitely like to see more/bigger pics.....

.......and if we don't get the pics then I'm afraid we'll just have to have a word with your good lady wife....

Really cool. Makes my 42 year old wood boat a pup!

That is wicked cool. Congratulations! You'd be a big hit at the wooden boat festival. It will be in Mystic next time.
