Thread: How many Goats in NZ?

Hi Mik, I asked you a while back if there were any other Goats in NZ, you said you'd sold a couple of sets of plans, but didn't know if any had been built. I'd always wondered if there were or weren't any, it seems at least three others have been completed:

Here a shot of two of them on the water at the Lake Rotoiti Classic boat show earlier this year:



Haven't been on the water for a while, mornings have been about minus 5 celsius, I should get the bits and pieces (boomkin and boom) finished for the yawl conversion, but again the garage is a bit cold...

I just realised that although I've been out quite a bit in my GIS, I've never been on the water when even one other sail has been in sight. Main time I have free to get on the water is weekday mornings, that could have something to do with the lonely sailing.

I must try and get up to Rotoiti one Easter, perhaps we could get a shot of four Goats on the water together.
