Dskira, that certainly looks the goods, heres one from Australia(but US designed I'm told).
All the best from Jeff

Nice boat Daniel!

Another proof that wood can last some time, even in harsh conditions. (do´nt tell Brent)

Thanks for sharing! (thank you too waikikin, though thats a pretty ugly example)

We will see that in another 50 years. In fatigue resistance timber does outlast AL.

Well my harbour police patrol boat (Museum ship) is from 1957, good condition, but of course extremely well maintained.

But thats not from 1889, right? And the fatigue issue is not to ignore.
