My wife just came over to me and said ...."you have to drive out to the farm with me....There is this guy with boats in his yard."
(we live in Richmond and she rides horses in Scottsville)
I turned to her and said..what this one???
And showed her yours and she said "YES!!! that is it!!!"
So...When are you around for tours????

I can't wait to see your progress Jimmy.
I hope you keep the photos coming, hopefully I'll be able to help you a bit if I had to go down the same tunnel with my Challenger. I think your project looks like it's in good shape. I'll be interested in how you go about the cockpit. It could be done many different ways. Mine is still original if you need any measurements or details.

Thank you Tom,
I may take you up on some of those measurements.
My family and I are heading North this summer for a family reunion (my wife's side) in MA. We thought of Vacationing in and around New England. If we are in your area I would love to see and take a couple of pictures of "Christmas".
Thanks, Jimmy Small

Thanks Jon,
I will let you know for certain if we are heading up your way this summer. I would really love to see the details of how some things are put together. Right now my galley is a jigsaw puzzle. My boat was finished at Poul Molich's yard in Denmark is yours Derecktor? if so I wonder what differences there may be?
Thanks, Jimmy Small

Derecktor did finish her and it's surprising how the two interiors are similar. The plans from Alden spec out the layout but I imagine there are all sorts of nuances the builders incorporated in their own work. I cann't seem to figure out how to post multiple pix without having to go through the process multiple times for each pix. Can you post a folder??? I have some of the galley I'll post when I find them.
