Oh dear me I wish all of you would not keep on showing me these romantic designs
as I have a history of love at first sight where boats are concerned,
First the history, I went to the wood yard [ english lumber merchant] and got 53 sheets
of ply on the same day that my first wife left me, this was to build a wharram cat,
I am now a happy man with my nice wife and home but I think that wharram was
31 foot long so building a boat just over twice the length would be no trouble
please put me right someone.
since my marrige I have rebuilt a older wharram , I told my wife it would only take a
year---we had it out side the front of the house, or bits of it for over 2 1/2 years
at the moment a folding schooner is being built so I am in no danger of running
of to the wood yard to buy 400 sheets of ply.
the more I think about the break down schooner the more sense it makes
I could build it in the work shop where I rebuilt the wharram--the sections are
shorter than the wharram hulls and to get it to the water would be easy
