It is Day 3 already of the Fab Fine Lines Fotos and to celebrate today we have a class that was well know to Jack Chippendale, as he built a beautiful example (sadly, we don't know what happened to it!).

But this really is a glorious example of not just the boatbuilder's craft but the work that goes in to keeping a boat looking like this!
