Flying Ant Au, RQ0457, 1958 plan-set
12 months on the Flying Ant is progressing...
from less than perfect...
to some there may be little to show but the photo evidence supports some steps forwardIMG_1888.jpg
From the picture you may be able to see the original sails are past their use by.
Despite that I won the best start at the Point Talburpin Sail Day at the High-Water Sail-Boat Club20180519_152343.jpg
A great result after some minor works to tidy up some previous unsympathetic repairs to the plywood skin in the aft cockpit sole20180207_153540.jpg
along with re-gluing the mast which had begun to separate along the centre seamIMG_1405.jpg20180102_113607.jpg20180102_160631.jpg
