As we are a bit low on postings maybe we can talk about this.
I came back from the UK after Christmas with a Tideway 12 built in 1968 which needs some work so now I have WB 9 to get ready for the season and also my new toy.
I also have a Walker Bay plastic dinghy which I use to get to my mooring.
Classic Marine love me - lots of brass and bronze bits arriving by every post!
What other boats do you have?

Hi Nick, Not sure I qualify to answer your post as I only have one boat having sold the WB.
My boat is a Postboat. Plastic with lots wood trim and long ballasted keel like the WB. It carries same sail area but 14ft 6ins on deck and it is important to reef early in a blow as the pictures show! At least you can see the underwater profile!

Roger, you make a habit of showing off your underwater profile! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4I080_NKGw (apologies for repeating this posting but I do like it)

I've "only" got two (I say only as I think I got up to five at one stage) Like Roger I haven't had a WB for some years now. First my joy, Baycruiser 20 Daisy Grace.
Then my toy, a modified Portuguese style dinghy which I built last year and have rowed all of 50 yards on the local river so far. Working name Nellie Grace

PS Yes that is Daisy G's mizzen mast and sail stuck in the poor wee thing.
