Rifleman
(Click
HERE for more about this boat)
With much pleasure, I have quietly launched my new boat,
John Welsford's Rifleman, known in our family as Polly II.
Construction of Polly II commenced in June, with construction now
completed. Fit out is 90% complete, and some cosmetic touches yet
required. Being school holidays here, I have relented to the pressure
exerted by my 14 year old son (and construction assistant from the start),
and put some miles under her keel without waiting for the last little bits
and pieces. These will be attended before the official(?) launching in
company of Mr. Ross Lilistone and family in a week or so.
Plans and materials were supplied by Ross, along with much encouragement
and support.
Impressions to date? We are very pleased with a fine looking vessel, and
amazed by the number of people who come to us wanting to look at and
discuss this different and obviously appealing craft. Not just another
copy of everything else on the water!
Thanks for a great design.I will be back in touch following the official
launch with more news.
Regards,
Eric Ashby. |
