Hi Neil. Just checked your pictures in your own album on the site (thought you meant the photgallery at first), Great, and fascinating to see that you're rebuilding a Nicholson 32 as a schooner junk. Must be a very satisfying project and I wish you luck in getting a sail in her soon. Sea Elf and Wee Elf - nice combo. Hope you get that USA rally (small 'r', capital awarded if you can draw a third boat in) with John. Good luck with it all.

Hi Brian....It would be fun to have a mini rally here on the Chesapeake.  I keep reading about the rally's held elsewhere and it really looks like fun.  I would enjoy seeing the other junks......
John....sorry about the bamboo.  We have bamboo a plenty in S.E. Virginia and wouldn't mind using it.  I'd be curious to know how the chafe problem would be using it but now have committed myself to using fir.  I just bought the material for my foresail from a local yard.....$56.00.  I'm OK with that.  Keep cool....brutal here....
