    I hope she sails as great as she looks. Wonderful and a great piece of craftsmanship. It impowered me to build my own. I'm a carpenter and crafty myself.Great sailing.

    An act of folly? An act of love? An incredible commitment to tradition and beauty? In any case a wonderful journey and now a new chapter to be written! Congratulations to all who made this possible, and thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings!

    Wonderful to see traditional wooden boat building still alive! I was brought up watching 'The Onedin line' series on tv & also knowing my great grandfather on my mother's side had served on the last of the Royal Navy sailing ships. We had his sea chest still, through my upbringing...

    This is a lovely boat. I remember Curlew from wintering at Manoel Island, Malta in 1969/70 on our old yacht Fairbright. Tim and Pauline were anchored off to keep costs down so we didn't see much of them.

I am planning a trip round Britain from Sweden and it would be fantastic to visit the boatyard. I am also planning a visit to the Wharram office in Devoran. I will try to find you and see if a meeting is possible.

    Well, well done. I have just watched a video on a Swan 80 Club racing yacht. A thing of beauty? No way, on the other hand Constance is and will remain so for many many years. I am a long keel small yacht owner and am so jealous. Bon Voyage 🙃Sorry bit of a swell running here.

    Да... Классика, это сила.. Должен признать, что в свою очередь всё больше склоняюсь к мысли о том, что само соприкосновение с таковой, в свою очередь даёт не только моральное удовлетворение, но некое душевное спокойствие, в купе с самим осознанием смысла собственной жизни... Бен, надо признать, Вы по настоящему счастливый человек.. В наше время осознавать сам смысл собственной жизни, это уже само по себе счастье, не так ли?
