New boat. Not sure of name yet but it's a GP14 sailing dinghy.

So we decided we wanted to learn to sail seeing as dignity is a sailing boat without sails, it would be nice to one day return her to former sailing glory. 

In order to learn we wanted a dinghy, looked around and found a gp 14 on eBay for £123 and some sails on Gumtree for £50.

We collected the boat on Sunday and getting the sails on Saturday. She's an early gp14, there's a number on there somewhere but haven't spotted it yet. The guy we bought it off said he spoke to the gp14 club and they aged it at 1957. However, it's spent about 50 of its years indoors complete with cover so the boat is in really good condition. 

Last year it was outside and so the varnish had started to bubble and look tired. So we giving her a rub down, fresh varnish, recoat the hull in white and tidy the trailer up. Then she should be ready to sail again. 

In all we have got a really nice boat here for not a lot of money. Very happy. Hope to have her back on the water in no time.
