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

    Good to see you back in the saddle. Full boat or hull deck?

    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:rolleyes: , 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:cool: 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...
