    And very sweet little birds they are, too.  A lovely name.  Mind you, with a boat called 'Fantail', I might just be a bit biased.

    I think that naming a boat "Drijfsijs" is asking for trouble: you'll spend a lot of time saying ISPELL DELTA ROMEO INDIA ...

    I read a book (possibly "Sell Up and Sail") that advised against calling your boat "Coughdrop of Loughborough" for similar reasons.

    Small status update on coromandel Süskin:

    Sandblasted the hull last october ( not recommended!)

    Dried it over winter because of osmosis. 

    Re-smoothed the hull this spring

    Anti-foulded yesterday and today

    Did none of this work myself unfortunately but it got  done nonetheless

    Will now turn my attention to the mast - very important that It dan be lowered overhere. 

    Ripped out the interiorlning last year and i amr NOW preparng myself mentally for glue-residue removal. Quite a chore. 


    WWould be happy if i could sail this year and work on the interior next winter.  She was saved from the shredder for a New lease of life.
