If I was in or nearer to S.A. I'd be making a beeline for her already ....

I'd write a few more words but maybe a quick cut ad paste instead will allow me to work in time...

"Such perfection brings a smile to a seaman's face. This boat works!" Sail Magazine

"This is a truly gorgeous Shellback Dinghy designed by legendary US boat builder Joel White.

"The boat was built by volunteers at the Armfield Slip in Goolwa under the supervision of an experienced boat builder as the raffle prize for the SA Woodenboat Festival in 1989. It is probably the first built to this design in Australia.

"The pretty red sail was made by Binks Yachts in SA. It was later modified by the same company to provide additional eyelets for brailing up the sail as per an article in Woodenboat magazine. The sail has been stored indoors and is in excellent condition."
