Reminds me of a Tumlaren, definite Skerry Cruiser influence.

Ewan,

Gareth is right.
The boat is "Kyuma" a 27 ft. Tumlaren built in 1938.
Her owners are Graham and Josie Franklin from NSW.
I have a photo similar to yours taken at the Hobart Boat Show last year.
By enlarging it I can just read the display sign hanging in the rigging.
There is a reference to it here.

There is a fine account of the boat in "Heavy Weather Sailing".

Gareth is right.


Or possibly lucky

... she sure is sweet!


I will have to agree--the shape (on that sheila) is very very sweet.

The boat's nice too. ;)

thanks all

A bit heavily detailed compared to a lot of tums, the deck coaming, rub rail etc. and a bit flat in the sheer. Nice but.

Sweet design, I read all references here, wonder if plans for her exist....just curious...
