About this boat

Lilla Dan but not as you might know her! She is an extended version 36 inches stern to bowsprit. The hull is a Graupner Elke fishing boat hull. The plans were kindly sent by Billing 20 odd years ago.

However I am the new owner as she was built by my late friend John Cook. I bought her earlier in 2022 and did an update on the insides and renewed all the rigging, which took quite a while and rather than serve the lower parts of the shrouds I used white heatshrink electrical insulation.
She needs a good breeze to sail and really hates tacking through the wind and wearing ship can lose all you gained previously. However my daughter in law got her to go very nicely.
