    Default George Holmes - Ethel III "ETH'L"- Adelaide

    Listed on the Duck Flat web site.
    Had a look at it today. Don't think it's the right boat for me.
    Cockpit too small & too many strings to pull - gaff main & mizzen plus jib on bowsprit.
    (But I'm changing my mind every 30 mins or so...)
    Fantastic buy for someone though.
    Only needs the deck sanded & recoated & the rub rail rebedded..
    Mast could use recoating too.
    Otherwise it's near perfect.

    Have decided to buy it for myself after all.
    I think I can convert it to be more like Holmes' original drawings without much trouble.
    A lot less trouble than building a whole new boat anyway.
