C.Ricko Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Kimeiline moored in our wet shed during the 1990s she looked lovely from the outside and the interior was also really nice, however, she was completely knackered. we did some work to the decks, put a bit in the cabin side and did a whole load of planking but it was far from a ' proper job as the owner just wanted to sell her which he did for a vey good price.
