Yeah yeah... Jordan's boat looks very pretty but how many people can actually pronounce 'anemone' properly, eh? Is it named after one of those 'see-an-enemy' things at the seaside you hear kids saying will suck your blood?

This is not put on as a public entertainment... it's put on to reach a certain goal.

Not me, though I did concentrate extra hard with my tongue sticking out between my teeth so I at least spelled it proper like. :D

Best name I saw on a Flying Fifteen was 'Uffa Fox Ache'
The designer was called Uffa Fox.
Mad as a ships captain and designed the airborne lifeboat and the first planing dinghy. Became a close friend of Phil and Liz. Taught Charlie how to sail.

In this instance Lucy named her Anemone which means 'Daughter of the Wind' in Greek mythology.

Quite an appropriate name for a child of yours, then. :lol:

(International 12, similar vintage to Bluebird K4).


Proper clinker - Beautiful! My MR is just plywood. Don't see many International 12s in this country.
