Nice shots. What is the boat?


Thanks.

It's a Swedish built 'Kings Cruiser' but there are at least
three other types of boat called that. This one is based on
a 6 meter and had the doghouse added for headroom. We owned
#234 so it was fairly popular in it's day. Lovely boat and
fun to sail, as long as you remembered it's helm response
before entering close quarters.



I regret I have no pictures (that I can find) of the first boat. It
was a wooden boat built by a local guy, a nice old man who had built
wooden boats all his life and was more or less phased out by the move
to GRP. 17' with a full trunk cabin and designed to use lightning
class sails. We had more fun on that boat than any other I've owned.


Unfortunately that's often the way
