Some people like sailing

And other folk just like working with their boats. Who knows, the owner of this day boat, which I think is a Morton Explorer 18 (thanks to Brian for assistance with identification - see comments), may be a keen sailor but the evidence is he sure likes working on his boat.


An unusual figurehead graces the stem.


More bright work and decoration in the interior, I can't decide if those side benches are uncomfortable of just look it. Either way there's a lot to admire and a lot to varnish.


Even the keels are decorated.

    Thanks Brian, seems like it probably is a Morton, or Swift Explorer or possibly a Sharpshooter
