Excited and delighted to see them making such a fine job of rebuilding the Vixen. What an exquisite little yacht. But just a wee bit sad to see her painted. Certainly some of the bits of replaced planking did not match too well; i would have put up with that, expecting them to fade and more-or-less match up in 10 or 20 years!

Oh I really like these 2 about Vixen, well done to everyone who had a hand in them.
