Peter Turpins Mushulu 12 now launched

[Mark Bowdidge]

G'day All,
i just recieved launch photo's of Peter's Mushulu 12. I thought I'd throw this up as it just goes to show that age means nothing when it comes to boatbuilding.
Peter has never built before and is 81 years old.
He wrote to me, commenting he loved building his own boat and would you believe.. he has now ordered the Sandy Strait 14 as his next build project for the up and coming winter.
Peter as called his boat
"Salt Peter". Great name.
Here's his boat:

For a person who has never built before and also, Mate, this boat deserves a 10 out of 10. All I can say is WOW.
TOP JOB

Hope I'm going that well at his age-what a lovely looking boat.Amusing to see that he's caught the bug and is already on to his next build.
Cheers,
Dave.
