Is John Allsop still around, he designed the Bonbridge27. John Staples built them where IKEA was at Pymble for Max Tunbridge who was a panel beater a couple of doors up. Max has been retired for many years and was at Mannering Park on the Lake the last I saw of him [2-3 years ago?].
My involvement? I cut the first bit of wood for the plug off the loftings on the floor. Yep, stuffed up the curve of the clipper bow..
But it was only a small piece of timber!
I then crewed for Max on Amazing Grace in a RSYS cruise as well as some other RPAYC events. Fun days for a teenager.
