    Aging gracefully

    Thanks :cool:
    It is pretty nice for forty years old. Lock did a great job when he designed it.
    I am getting it ready for launching, I think it will look even better in the water. :)

    First in the water pics!

    Finally!
    I don't have all the gear on it yet, but it really floats high. Patrick and crew must have really built a light boat :cool: I am very pleased. I expect I will get her equipped and sailing in about a week and I will try to post some more photos then.

    Awesome! Like a balloon! Calm water makes it seem even crazier on top of water!

    Great show Bruce.
    It warms the cockles of me heart to see her on the water again.

    what is in a name?

    Thanks Patrick, it warms mine too :!: You did a very good job on her, and I have just tried to put her back together correctly. (Maybe with a few modern improvements ;) ). I expect she will be sailing well into the future. I haven't put any name on her, but I am having some graphics made with "PF II", and "Robinox" made up that I will install later this season. Locally, it is a bit fun to keep people guessing for a little while ;)

    Crowther for sale

    Thanks guys, I am proud of my boat :) :)
    On another note- There is a Crowther Tempest 33 for sale in Miami Florida that in the photos looks pretty decent, particularly for under $10K US. I know nothing of the boat, it just appeared on Craig's list. I think the owner might own a Buc 33 on the US west coast so he must like Crowthers ;)

    I would love to see pics of the inside. Even of your new bulkheads in the amas.
