This was put together while flopping on the beach with friends. Its one of the little beaches covered by the National Parks near Maitland Bay and as such the pickings were slim as those pesky rangers and volunteers do such a fanatical job of keeping these beaches looking artificially like its 1780 all over again. A simple little foam hulled, glass keeled, glad wrap sail skimmer that sailed well enough except the across shore breeze meant it really wasn’t leaving town that day. You can see a picture of me at the end there with my little pink ribbon boat. I like picture 6, I imagine that is pretty much the view Cook and Banks saw when they came up here for a sticky around.
