Yes sure looks like spirit in the orchard?

Those pics were all shot in the "Boat orchard" at Warriwood in NSW.
All covered by "Macmansions" now.

Sorry old friend but the photos were taken in Bill Salisbury's orchard off Castle Hill Road, West Pennant Hills. I should know, I took them with a Minolta SRT 101 using Kodak Ectachrome film. I also helped build it and sailed on its maiden trip where I watched the sumlog needle bouncing off the stop (36knot limited) as we surfed back into Sydney harbour with a 35 knot NE wind with the main reefed down as far as it would go.

Trimariner, did you ever see the Kraken 25 Jabberwock? Lock reckoned she improved on a lot of aspects of his original Kraken 25 design I cant find out much about the boat and am curious as to what was different. I've seen a few photos of the boat but nothing detailed enough to show any differences.

Sorry John. I bow to your superior knowledge.
It was a different Crowther that I have a pic of in the "Boat Farm" at Warriwood. But still covered by urban sprawl now.
