On Its Way...

After a wait the moth is finally in a truck and on its way.....Hope it gets here in one piece. Away this week in the South Island for work so hopefully can collect it from Scotts yard when back in Auckland next weekend.
In the meanwhile have been searching the web for info. Have found a few interesting blogs, Catzooks.com is a great read with ex photos on his construction of a solo swift yacht. Will add these sites to links as I find them.

Freight Arranged

Have arranged the freight - Have done a deal with Scott Haulage who ship furniture for the company I work for. Best of all at a great price. Llyall the previous owner in Dunedin has been most helpful, so hopefully will be on its way soon.
Now have to finish of Roys Firebug so as have room in the garage.
