    Thanks for the links David.  Just spent a happy half-hour looking through the wonderful boat-building photographs on their website.

    Talking about building a NA-29, in the unlikely event of a lottery win, got me thinking: who's building high class wooden boats these days?

    Remember Dan Johnson, who built Hestur, the junk rigged Benford dory, and made an Atlantic circuit in her along with Charlotte? Well, he's not been idle since then. He's teamed up with Tim Loftus, and is building some beautiful boats up in Ullapool:
