Beautiful boat, Keelbolts. Allow me to be the first to ask for more photos!

Finally we get to see the fabulous "Favona"!

I'll second the motion for more photos :-)

Here's a couple more from the last haulout. They're a bit larger so they may take longer coming up.

She still looks fantastic, keelbolts! It's great to see some recent pictures of the ol' fastnet champion. And you've probably seen this site already, but here's another boat built to Robert Clark's Favona design a few years later:

SYONA

Thankyou. She is a fine boat, but I'm afraid it's about time to pass her along. Knowing, as you do, that nothing works on an old (plastic) boat but its owner, imagine the work on a 50 year old wood boat. Talk about a work in progress... I actually shifted from architecture to teaching in order to get the time to work on her. She's been my summer job for the last 10 or 12 years.

I am fimiliar with Syona and her sistership. Syona's bow was extended 6" which I think detracts from her beauty. I prefer a spoon bow to a pointy one.
