Portland?

[py]

Does anyone know what's happened to Portland? Last I saw was his new boat was on the way home-he now seems to have dissapeared with nary a trace????

He's got the boat, got it in the water and has been enjoying it.

He took exception to a thread that seems to have dropped off the radar now. Hopefully he'll drop back in here.

Sigh!:(

Come on back Rob, we want to hear about sailing on Huon Seal. Really.

Ignore all that nonsense down in the bilge.

I don't think Rob will mind me posting some of the photos he sent to me and a few other people.

Thanks Rick, they are the ones I couldn't open. cheers

The problem was the file name Larks... had to remove the underscore from the suffix.

[Larks]

yeah, I tried your solution without luck then got caught up in work before going back to it, so am pleased to see them here anyway.

As a "currently building this boat" I can't tell you how thrilled I am to see these, and Rob's enthusiasm for the boat.

Thanks Rick, Huon Seal looks very happy in her new home. And it looks like the local seals are pleased too - classic!

We still have a few photos of Faoilean (http://www.woodenboatfittings.com.au/boats/faoilean.htm) here too, from when she was for sale some time ago. Classy-looking boats.

Note Iain's handwritten comment on a plaque lovingly placed on the bulkhead. Doug was very proud of Faoilean, and only sold her to make way for a larger S&S.
