The first of the two Blue Moons built by Cem Gur and colleagues in Turkey is launched. This one is going to an owner in Greece.
Designed by Thomas Gillmer, the Blue Moon is such an attractive boat that even my kids are oohing and aahing over the pictures!

Fans of Thomas Gillmer’s Blue Moon design based on the traditional Falmouth quay punt will be pleased the boat is being built again, in Turkey. See the builder’s website at http://www.classicboats-turkiye.com .

Boatbuilder Cem Gür sent use these pictures of the pair of Thomas Gillmer-designed Blue Moons he and colleagues at Classic Boats Turkiye are building, together with some conceptual drawings and some photos of the early build of a 29ft Bristol Channel cutter to plans drawn up by Paul Gartside.
Cem tells me he’s expecting to be able to send photos showing more boat building progress at the end of this month.
Thanks Cem!
