A Stiff Test For Winkle:
Water Craft (No. 57, May-June 2006)

In the high winds of March, Winkle the first Wee Seal to roll out of our workshop, was put to the test by Judy Brickhill of Water Craft Magazine.

Winkle was delivered to her owners in July 2005, as a complete and finshed hull. In the following months, Owen and Becci completed her interior fit out, installed her rigging and made her ready for launch in October 2005. Just in time for the close of the season.

When Pete Greenfield, Editor of Water Craft, proposed a sail test in March, after only a few weekends on the water, we had our reservations, but the result couldn't have been better.

In the words of Judy Brickhill - "...it was a pretty stiff test for the diminutive Winkle and she came through like a little trooper."

Pick up a copy of Water Craft No. 57, to read the full sail test. Or if you've missed the issue at the newsagent, contact us for a copy of the article.

Winkle's Launch:
October 2005

On launch day, Winkle slipped into the water with ease. The breeze was low, so not much sailing occurred. It was our first chance to see Owen and Becci's finish work, and we were quite impressed.

Winkle sits beautifully on the water, and we hope her combination of good looks and utility, brings years of enjoyment to her new owners.
