As far as water time is concerned it's probably going to be Goolwa although i would kill to be able to do something before then. We are in full on building mode now so spare time is non exsistant. Paynesville this weekend (booked BEFORE the build started)

Don't think that was a Lewis Ray, Seacraft all the way for me. It seems to be light enough as it is

While Builders took "builds to order" , I have only ever seen the Lewis Badge on clinker hulls. Bruce Walker for example built everything from an 8 foot sailing boat to 30 foot Cruisers to pay the Bills.

Probably the the most similar bondwood hull to my boat I have seen, even looks to have same ski pole and screen.
Chine to deck on ronda is more parallel!

Hey Wildwoody, thats correct Kevin Robertson (Rond's previous owner) bought two Rond's from Erwin and yes mine is the second one. Thats why there was a bit of confusion around whether my boat may have been Ronda 2. All cleared up now as Ronda Too was an Everingham skiff
