Let's see your lovely boats then, post your favourite pics in here.
I'm new to yachts this season and my Centaur hasn't touched the water since I bought it, so I only have an interior shot
Bit it's a nice one

Looks very nice, launching soon ?
More than happy to post a picture of Sixpence, recently launched after spending over a year working on saving her

Hi! Yes - I already launched. Some shots around somewhere or other. Launched in April and everthing's been fantastic so far. Loving it. Spending about 50% of my time onboard at the moment as I work on the net for a living. Good life!

Looking good James, just thought I'd add a before and after
Is what she looked like when I took her on
Then on launch day
Only a small improvement
And that's after all the repairs were completed too, so not just a respray job as I first thought

Hi Dave.
Looks like we are both getting in the act there.

cheers David.
One day I will be back on the water.

I hope so we got the new 12000 kg winch on the transporter to day so we can pull a boat on with out the need of a extra pull by a set of rope blocks.
Just the coach roof, decks and ports to complete then pay her up and paint the hull then we plan to drop her in well roll her down a slip as you did and let her take up and check if all is sound.
One day I will be back on the water.

That rig could come in very useful, specially if I find another project
Any pics of it ?
