: Nice! Which one is it .. or is it both?
: What models are they?

Hi Rob. They are both Guillemots. The front one is 17ft and the rear one,
my first build, is 15ft 6", because when I started building, I didn't have a
building space long enough for a 17ft boat. Both boats have a small
permanent skeg, just a deepening of the stern trim.

I tried to keep a degree of similarity in the deck patterns, I had some idea
what I wanted to achieve, but both pretty much just evolved as I worked.

I think that shortening the OA length on my first build made life a little more
difficult, as the twists and bends at bow and stern were a little more severe,
but I am very pleased with the performance of both boats, both river crawling
and playing in (small) waves on open sea.

Regards Les. C.
