Thanks guys. I donated my first tall ship uke to the ship.
Great! I love instruments with a story. They'll make good paddles too. The Matthew Turner looks like quite a project.
Cool, Gary. Truly awesome bones of construction. I've never sailed anything busy than a Laser sailboat.
Yeah, big. It will be about 130' overall. I am a part time volunteer on the project.
Cool, that is even bigger than my old Snark sailboat.
Thanks, UJ.

Gonna be tall for sure. Great history and ukes. They look loveable and playable.
