Well after almost 2 years of sweat, tears and pouring money down a deep deep hole.... the Raja Naga Laut, my 25 meter (not-so) traditional Pinisi schooner is beginning the 'launch sequence' in Tanah Beru, Sulawesi 'Like' to get daily progress updates :cupcake:[url]https://www.facebook.com/RajaNagaLaut.Cruises[/url]

Looks great. They say that the two happiest days of a boat owner's life are the day they buy a boat and the day they sell it.

British [I]Racing[/I] Green ... to be preciseRetro... like the old MGs or Jags (I had one of those about 15 years ago, it was 32 yrs old then)Anyway, that's the undercoat.... but I quite like it maybe I'll keep it that colour - though finding a sail to match could be a problem

Interesting times? With a house you can kinda see in stages whether it's gonna work or not but with a boat if it doesn't work the last you see of it is as it vanishes below the waves...
