Nice! A great boat with a neat history. Should be lots of fun.

I think I will name her Strawanza again. I towed her back yesterday and I have pulled everything out of the cabin to see what is there and what is missing. She has not been sailed for about 7 years now so the odd bit has fallen off ,lost or has been sold I am an ex Zimbawean and have been living in New Zealand for the last 14 years. My closest sailing water is New Plymouth and I've just join the New Plymouth Yacht Club. I built a 15ft plywood dinghy from which I learned to sail in protected harbor waters . So I'm still a novice but there is no shortage of advice her in New Zealand. . Geoff Otterson Strawanza #646
