This is the latest hull to come off a mould in 2009. This one in Dubai to the Paterson 8 design, built by Doug.

By the author's (post on-call) reckoning, that makes it ~5 new boats in 2009!

Congratulations to the two new owners in the fleet, with both Easy Tiger and Flat Stanley being snapped up from ebay.

Flat Stanley's ex-owner has already made a start on the christmas decorations. As long as it looks like a boat ¹⁾ by 6th of January he'll avoid a year of bad luck…
