Mor Gem

This is our boat "Mor Gem" in action at our home sailing club, Whitefriars, on Lake 26 at the Cotswold Water Park.

Know your Knots, Hitches and Bends?

Take a look at the Animated Knot website. I think this is a very useful and informative resource, and it’s good fun too!

Wren Tender

This is my Iain Oughtred designed "Wren Tender" (Auk), built between October 1997 and May 1999.

The original design has been "stretched" by allowing 12.5" between stations to increae the length from 7'10" to 8'8". Construction is glued clinker ply. Stem, keel, transom and thwarts are Brazilian mahogany.
