Charlie has been building a John Welsford design called a Sundowner for the past two years or so,just recently the boat was launched and looks great sitting in its true element,even though its still tied up for the time being at a marina in New Zealand. John Welsford www.jwboatdesigns.co.nz designed this small offshore boat with the specific idea of Charlie sailing from New Zealand to Hawaai,then via Cape Horn (to port) and across the lower part of the South Atlantic Ocean to my home port,which is Hout Bay,in South Africa.The local yacht club Hout Bay Yacht Club http://www.hbyc.co.za/ already have Charlie on their Links pages and we are looking forwards to Charlie sailing in to our bay some time in the near future. CKD Boats will be looking to supply the Sundowner as a complete kit very soon,contact http://www.ckdboats.com/ for information. Charlies own site is at................. http://www.charlest.whipple.net/ he calls it his Tokyo West Blog !
