Thanks Helen, I was looking through all the shots of the various Duckflat schools you have attended .. I have hundreds of the things and picked a thumbnail that looked about right. If I have time I will find a correct photo … I have about 20 somewhere.

I’ll try to keep you out of the frame – I know you are camera shy!

Congrats on the boat!

David Wilson said, it’s one of the most used boats he ever owned.

Congrats on the design. It’s as solid and stable as a rock. We do have a couple of suggestions and things we learned along the way if anyone is interested eg turning the bow and stern frames around and making them internal. And Fiona added inwhales which I think are really worth doing.

What Fiona didn’t tell you was that the seats are all epoxied and varnished with a different tartan in keeping with our closest town up there, Maclean, which styles itself as Australia’s “Scottish” town. All the telegtraph poles on the way into town are painted with different tartans, so we thought we’d support the theme.

The picture you have up of the pram is, however, not mine. My boat is a Joel White Nutshell. The one you have put up as mine is possibly one of Iain Oughtreds’ prams.
