It was long ago, 1975 or 1976, that i spent several monthes, almost one year, building Le Hussard de Artisania.
I remember those monthes as happy times.
After then, life rolled on and out, and heavy seas brought huge storms that wrecked my lovely vessel and left broken sails and masts, tangled ropes and rigging.
For 40 years or more she lay down, abandoned and forgotten on some living room furniture.
Now retired i can't think of a better way to suse my extra time than restauring it and make it a proud vessel again.
As I do it, i intend to post here the results, and every now and then to ask for some help on some more dificult details.
Thank you all in advance, and i hope that you will enjoy it as much as i did when building she, and that i hope to enjoy now restauring it.
