Hi Peter - welcome!

You have some work to do there!! Great project. Will be excellent fun with the kid(s) when ready to sail.

I have no idea what the vessel is. Perhaps you should ask on the W.O.A. forum as you think it's a Westerly? Their forum used to be members only but it's not any more. It's here:

http://www.westerly-owners.co.uk/woaforum/

If you find out what she is, please do let us know.

Good luck!

thank you Jeff i tried and they pretty sure its not Westerly<
but it was worth to try:)
if i cant find anything i will rebulid her as classic yacht with mahogany trims and white cabin
flag blue hull with white strips...gosh i cant wait to start.im waiting for wormer days.
thank you

If you have the time you should post regular updates on your progress, with pictures.

i will, although i dont know how to attach photo ito post.
i will start soon new topic " Irene "restoration project:)

It's not as easy as you might think, to attach a photo. You need to have it hosted somewhere else to start with.

Fortunately, you can now do this very easily using a free service like this one:

http://postimage.org/

Just upload your image and then underneath are various versions of code you can use to insert an image. If you click on COPY TO CLIPBOARD next the one that says "Thumbnail for forums(1)"

And then make a post in here and when you want to insert your image hit CTRL-V (or right-click and choose PASTE) and that will insert the code you need to show your image.

Bit of practice and you'll suss it. Have a go now maybe.

oki lets try
one of my inspiration yachts

YAY! thank you jeff>10 more years and i will be forum geek:)

Fab, but small. And it turns out that free service pays for itself by linking to their pages, and showing ads... fair enough perhaps.

There may be other services out there which are better.
