A question for Mr. Alan Gilbert. About 25 years ago I built a Wianno 15, a S&S design. Alan Gilbert was then Chief Engineer at S&S. Was it you?...
Surprising lack of comments here. As a wooden boatbuilder I deeply appreciate. Thanks for sharing. Marco.
Just buy a measuring tape scaled in inches and millimeters. Et voila you have an instantaneous converter! Salut, Marco.

Having built a Moth hull to his deign, I must say that Phil certainly has a knack for developable surfaces. Being a boatbuilder in wood myself, I...

Thomas, Great work indeed! As I live in Torino, think I will come up there to see your boat in the flesh, probably in springtime. Cheers, Marco.
Having met some truly extraordinary sailors, Paul Elvstrom for one, I see nothing wrong in having a strong admiration for people like John Ilett...
