RE: Nimbus Mk 111
Beautiful John,
I can’t wait to see it in the water. More pictures of the sail winch and rigging please!
Are you making your oun sail's? Here are the ones I'm making for my Talon II.
Thanks
Don

So there she is on the water at last! She sails like a dream on all points, hands off she would just go on fo ever.
It's been a long haul scince she was just a plank of cedar wood, but well worth the effort and I would recommend that everyone tries their hand at scratch building from a plan at least once.
Thanks to all you Guy's who have shown such an interest and have given such encouragement, I wish you all good sailing and good luck with your projects.
