Unbuilding a boat

[tdw]

Nice one DW. Sorry not to see it earlier but we've been wafting about the NSW coast.

I remember in one of your vids you came across a young bloke in a Duck Punt and you were pretty impressed by the thing.

Enjoy.

Cheers

they are amazing little boats

designed for wildfowlers

they are very relaxing to sail.

I took it up on the upper Thames yesterday - when I pulled it off the river it had a thinn film of ice on the bottom - no idea how that works

if anyone want to know more about them there are some great litle film on youtube

if you can scrounge an optimist rig then it is well worth making one

you really can slam one together in a few days in the garage

a perfect old man's boat

lots more double scull racers here

it is a bloody brilliant little boat

some-one should start making them out of tupperware

a scull, a canoe and a bloody good sailing vessel

no good for rough water though

I am having a real ball in the little thing
