Well, no. I can't because it's not finished yet. However I
have made some progress, here are some pics of it as of
yesterday afternoon. Since then I have done some lay-up on
the inside of the hull.

It's a bit heavier than I've hoped, but still a one-hand job
to lift. I have used more cloth and resin than planned, but
it's good & strong.

Very interesting boat, I spotted it at the little boatyard
just up the river (where we did our haul-outs). It's a Santa
Cruz 33 with an Azurra 31 lifting keel. The SC33 is not a
sled like the other Santa Cruz boats, it was designed as an
IOR Half-Tonner and apparently Bill Lee didn't like the
final results much. Only a few were built, it was his only
attempt at designing a boat to the IOR rule.

The current owner brought her down from the snows of New
England last spring. It was bought unfinished by one of the
guys who used to work for Bill Lee at the Santa Cruz works;
then he had the idea of jazzing it up with a bulb keel...
apparently had an Azzura keel & trunk laying around... put a
Mumm 30 rig on it.

Currently it's in the water at our marina, I am hoping to
get a chance to sail it soon.

Because the first photos in that batch were of the second
dinghy design model... the Perfect Dinghy Mk 2...

Webshots has remade their site and it doesn't work as well.
Slower & more complex is great for computer geeks but it
sucks for everyone else. For example, everything has to fit
into one of their categories. Since I never picked any, they
apparently assigned categories at random. I just noticed
that some of mine are in Gardening, which is pretty ironic.
