garryn Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Nipper is a lovely boat but this one takes it to the next level. Absolutely stunning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Excellent! Many congratulations Doug. I wonder if that hull would come back in varnish, like I remember them in the 50s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that hull would come back in varnish, like I remember them in the 50s? Speaking from my only experience of a true wooden boat, a little 21/2 ton Hillyard that was planked in full length in Iroko, the problem is what has happened in the intervening years since launch. You just don't have that uniform quality and appearance guaranteed, and you don't find out until the enamel is off. As some know, the Folkboat that I sailed to The Azores was wood but she was one of the ones, like the famous Jester, that was cold moulded. I think a true woody shuld be planked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrundallNavy Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 Well today has been a day of mixed emotions, the sale of Nipper has now gone through to a lovely couple who I’m sure will care for her as required. The sale of our new boat has also been completed so welcome to Papaver. If you see us afloat you are welcome aboard, always have time for tea and coffee. 20 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrundallNavy Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 We haven’t let Nipper go completely as she has given us some great memories over the last 6 years. So tonight I managed to win in an online auction a model copy of the Moore’s Belmore design, after a Nipper style makeover she will take pride of place on board Papaver. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrundallNavy Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 I have just been informed that Nipper has come back to the market, if anybody knows someone who is looking for a boat let me know and I can put them in touch with the owner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
