Finally launched my boat 'Shrimp' on Monday, after many months of prepping her for the BSC test, painting her underwater sections with Epoxy and antifouling, installing electrics and polishing her gelcoat.
Completely misjudged the waterline, haven't taken a photograph for a month, and I am now known as 'Dulux' at work as a result of my Monday morning paint spattered look , but it all seemed worth it when I saw 'Shrimp' on the water.
Now all I need is some time to enjoy her.

Hi I have just bought an Orkney Longliner 16ft It is quite bare and needs lots of work
I intend to use "shrimp" as a template of how I would like my boat (as yet unamed) to look
You must be very pleased atthe way she looks.
I have a detachable cuddy and a fish well / seat in the stern and thats about it I need a seat across boat so that I can row if required and some seating / lockers forward under the cuddy
