The Dirty Swift

Post by CHERRY PIE » Thu Jun 09, 2011 1:01 pm

Just been looking at some old photos I saved from the forum and could not find this one any longer in the gallery. Does anyone remember her? Was she fully restored?

Thanks Rob,
Hope Nick is still having fun with Whacker what a great job. There happened to be a thread on YBW.com and I posted a picture of Whacker pre - restoration someone asked if she had been restored...

I bought Whacker off a chap in Boston Lincs about 3 years ago.. Yes she was fully restored and the gel coat is in excellent condition after being protected by the dirt for 16 years! She is currently moored in Abersoch Harbour with two other Swifts - Cicada and Blue Shift.
