Welcome aboard Wolf59.

Hello David,
A warm welcome to our forum and I hope you feel at home.
I'm a simple landlubber, but I love old sailing ships.
 
Welcome, David! This is a fun place with members who have a ton of knowledge, should you need it. Hope to see a build of yours very soon!
 
Hello David, always good to see another Brit wash up here. I’m testing out ‘arthritis in the knees’ with a tentative beginning on the left one. It’s slowly making progress.

Slower the better as far as I’m concerned.

Best
J
