Don’t you love the bunting? Fowey boatbuilder Marcus Lewis has just completed this new Fowey River dinghy, which was launched at the end of April. She’s number 56 in the class.
The new boat is built of spruce planking with a mahogany top strake, steamed oak timbers and mahogany seats, centre-box and gunwhales. She’s copper rivetted thoughout and finished with Blakes clear woodsealer and International varnish. Her sails and cover were made locally by Mitchell Sails of Fowey.
The photos show the boat during build, the happy owner – and the boat sailing and looking good last weekend.
