Comments on: A second look at the small zulu Ocean Pearl restored by Nick Gates http://intheboatshed.net/2007/11/14/2027/ Gavin Atkin's weblog about great boats, boatbuilding and restoration Tue, 06 Jan 2009 23:45:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: JAY http://intheboatshed.net/2007/11/14/2027/comment-page-1/#comment-9411 JAY Tue, 01 Jan 2008 18:39:15 +0000 http://intheboatshed.net/2007/11/14/2027/#comment-9411 I am puzzled as to why my observation re Ocean Pearl being a fifie and not a zulu appears to have been deleted. I noted moments after the note was posted yesterday that it was being "adjudicated".
