I'm selling Flying Tadpole II, needs a younger and faster
driver. She's been up north at Pt Augusta for some years
and the sun's had a bite, I don't have time to fully
restore her, Lady Kate is jealously demanding what little
time is left between deserts, renovating, trying to move,
music, wheels of industry etc. So I trust some
enthusiastic local will buy her (for a fleabite), polish
her back up, and proceed to make the bermuda plastics
enraged and second on the big lake races once again!

BUT...the domain name doesn't go with the boat, nor the
website, nor the FT internet tag, nor the music
production company, nor the band etc etc, so be warned.

sale is at duck flat wooden boats
www.duckflatwoodenboats.com
For those who can't use a domain link, the actual website
front page is at http://www.ace.net.au/schooner


We are only keepers of wooden boats for a little while.
Hopefully she will 'live long and prosper'.

Gee and here I always wanted the git rot boat to burn in
the eternal fires of hell for all she put us through...



Yeah, but after the first fires of relief burn off don't ya
have a bit of rosey nostalgia?

Seahag


Of bailing, scraping, caulking, swimming it in because the engine would
conk iut and Mr Sails sinks like a rock? And listening to kids all go
"This isn't fun! We're all wet!" No...no glow of rosey nostalgia..just
relief that an idiot deove by and offered me money for it before I took
an ax to it!
