Nice to know he consulted you before stating you were building his boat - not!

actually we had plenty contact before - both email and telephone before we both committed ourselves.
It is me not learning that there are better ways to make more money easily , but then again, the bug had bitten me in 1981 and noways you can shed it.....

Mike, this boat is the full works right down to sea trails and will be the best I ever built - call it my encore to the trade.

In that case Wynand appoligies thought you had been caught! Bet you'll actually enjoy building this one (and I just bet it ain't your last, despite what you say now!)

And I am honoured and very happy that Wynand offered to build my boat. Yes, we did have quite a lot of email correspondence and a few calls over the past weeks.
I am looking forward to meet Wynand in person when I am traveling to S.A. next month.

I am also looking forward to summer in South Africa, as Shanghai starts to get a bit nippy now.

Cheers,
Andreas

I cannot agree more. Do you know how many times I've said that before ?
'OK, that's it' actually means 'OK, one more time'

Andreas, I'm sure Wynand is going to build you one heck of a boat, but it won't be his last one. We SA guys have that little problem...
