Fantastic graphics - very well done Sean!

Good New Year to all. We are slowly getting back to the normal routine. Hermanus 2010 was a HUGE success! Mainly because the wind blew this time. The Migs where very excited to steal the show, but I must mention that Ulrichs 3m span ship took the honours. He did not send me many construction photos, but if you would like to see more under the skin shots, I will mail him.
