Does anyone have information of what kind of wood was used on the WB.
A positive answere would ease my search for the wright replacement

thanks in advance

this is my solution to support the roof
removable if desired but is designed in a way that the post can stay on its place when sleepingaccommodation
is required

a dirty job indeed

coincidence or not. This evening I stumbled on a small fragment on youtube about the WB62

I am very happy to inform you that as of last Friday we are the proud owners of the Winkle Brig no 66.
After ferm negotiations with the former owner we came to a deal.
Mind you the boat needs a lot of attention as there is nearly no maintenance done in the last 16 years!
Sailing in the near future will be impossible unfortunately.

Keep you posted

regards from the Netherlands

Hallo Robin

as its happens we made a deal with the owner of the WB66 (Kobus)
The boat is at the moment still in winter storage but as soon as we can pick her up she is ours 

By that time I will be a very happy person

Wish you lots of fun
