Beautiful work Neil.
I've had a passion for boats since I was a little kid, the closest I ever got to having my own was building models of them until I met a man who had a habit of collecting boats in the extreme western section of PA about 15 years ago.
I ended up purchasing an old (derelict) International 21 day sailer/racer from him for $200.00.
Froze my tale off one cold winter repairing and refinishing her in an old non heated WWII Army staging camp warehouse. Just me, a heat lamp and the worlds biggest ground hog that was residing in there somewhere, lol. Loved that boat.
It's a very rewarding thing to work on your own boat, Getting to sail her as well is just icing on the cake.
