Johan was having a great day out in the bay yesterday,the stronger afternoon winds predicted had not arrived,well not untill about 5pm,then is came in with a vengence.From a light breeze to thirty knots in seconds it seemed.
The design is very similar to the Flicka 20,just a little larger.
Even with a fair bit of canvas up,Johan and his boat were quite in control,with the wind now around twenty knots and gusting over thirty,thats quite a craft he has there.
Pictures are from a Canon G11 on telescopic,I m surprised the quality is so good,I was being blown around so much be the winds myself!

Ariete is a Fred Bingham design in wood strip plank,Johan built her himself and fitted her out with gear he bought from around the world as he traveled on his business trips.
The design is very similar to the Flicka 20,just a little larger.
