Llaut

Well,  that's another 'Lockdown' project finished.

First planking
On this occasion, out of the boatyard has emerged a Llaut boat,  a fishing and pleasure vessel of a type found predominantly in the harbours and marinas of the Balearic Islands.
Further progress
From an Italian manufacturer it has taxed my patience at times but the result is not too bad but would not compete well against real professional competition.
Sailmaking!!
However,  that is not the point. It has allowed me to avoid the deepest depths of depression in the present dismal circumstances and will be an ever present reminder of happy days looking at boats in Majorca and Minorca.
Finished!




I  will give boat building a miss for a little while and perhaps concentrate on the Morgan, the Volvo and gardening....plus increasing the amount of walking I do.

Pride of place in the front window.
