    awsome to think that a coble built in 1937 is still going strong. Dave has the redfern been covered in glass fibre? could just be me looking to hard at the photo, but thats how she looks. shame if so as I understand its a death sentence for a wooden boat. :uglystupid2:

    Things look a lot better up there from when I was last in the UK in 2007, nearly all the boats then were rotting to pieces. I see the old much thought of "Redfern" is still going albeit fibre grass sheathed. Thanks for the pics  Dave D  :uglystupid2:
