About this boat

Gracia is my all time favourite! I had the plans and was about to build when I had an email from friend Keith Bragg who said would I like to take on his inherited part made kit, I jumped at the chance. It took me a month including planking the deck and making the sails, and she looks great on the water.

I have recently found some original sails and am contemplating revising the rig. I usually separate the mast and sails and store them in boxes, so this would be another mast with new sails so I would be able to choose from 2 rigs etc.

RC is simple winch with a far pulley on a stick so that it can all be withdrawn for maintenance. I finished her summer 2006.
I have found some more pictures of the winch - on - stick which locates into a slot at the bow and the joggling of the planking. This is the stern and you can see the tiller arm.
This is made of 11 laminates of 1/32 inch ply and shaped to fit over a 13 amp brass mains socket single pin. This is handy as it has a grub screw that retains it on the rudder stock.
It is the second one as the first one was nicked while the boat was on display at a show!
