Well out of the blue my dream boat appeared, so here she is.
I'll be sailing her north the next few months and may need crew,

Beautiful. As solid as they come. Stock up on varnish, and Brasso for those galley pumps.

Very nice McNautical, many happy days to come aboard her. Illustrious name too, a famous one was HMS Raven, a 14 gun British Royal Navy gun boat in the 1700's similar to this one!

Wow! lovely classic Nordic style. There is something about a classic boat which lifts the spirits when you look at it.
All set for some blue water cruising. Congratulations, and I wish you much enjoyment.

Congratulations, perhaps you could get this fellow to polish the brass? Though I reckon he would end up overboard pretty quickly

considering it's only got 1 hull, it's a very nice little ship !

congratulations.
I'd be preparing for lots of admiring looks anytime you enter a marina.

Love the galley taps.

Lovely boat!
check the forestay fitting on the bowsprit for cracks. I once re-built one which had a tiny crack in the end of a weld but the entire inside of the weld was eaten out by crevice corrosion. Just recently i was looking at another Hc and checked the same fitting out of curiosity to find it had a small crack in the same weld also.

Thanks everyone. I'm pretty chuffed. She'll be a step up in the learning curve for sure.
