Well done !!  A beautiful boat in a beautiful part of the world.

But why are you using an old photo of Billy Connolly circa 1975 as your avatar ?

Aloha Galway- this photo was from the previous owner- I am now grinding out rotten wood on the hard nearly 4000' up at the summit of Kilauea Volcano and hope to turn Moku'ola into an eco fishing vessel.  Who's Billy Connolly?! :)

Well he was no sailor that is for sure although he did serve his apprenticeship as a riveter in the Glasgow dockyard. And probably his early audiences in the working men's clubs would have included many dockers / sailors. But that is as close to sailing as he ever got I think.
