For Sail to good home...

An SS at rest... Gabrielle is same colours

The time has come, the walrus said.....
I don't have any room to keep the little wooden picnic day-boat I built (aka "Gabrielle"), so I'm inviting interest form someone who would like to take her over in as-is shape.  And that's basically finished, but with mast to be stepped (mast included), and sails needed. Sitting at the RHKYC boatyard.
She's been sanded back for final painting -- British racing green marine paint, as in the photo above, is included....  and the elbow grease for painting could well be as well...
Please get in touch if you're interested in this Hong Kong Somes Sound 12 1/2, a lapstrake version of a Herreshoff design from 1902.
A "good home" means you would need to have a mooring or a hard standing available.
Phone or text me xxxx.
