Astra revisited

Its now some 15 years since I got invloved with the restoration of a Tumlaren named ASTRA,now and again another one pops up but never in South Africa,she was (i think) the only one in the country?


At this stage she was some 72 years old,she will now be close to 78 years old? having been built in 1934.

Read the story of Astra in these two links.



Last  week news came in from Holland of another boat,believed to have been built in Australia,where a large fleet was known to exist.




Adam Marshall has been gifted this Tumlaren and asks about a sail plan,I have no name for the boat or hull number,this can be added later.
