I believe the Sumurun was one of them. Spectacular workmanship. We've sailed on everything from a cast-off girl's camp fiberglass Sunfish to a Precision 18 day sailer to a 52' Beneteau as a charter in the BVI, but I've never had the great good fortune to sail a wooden boat, let alone a beauty like one of these. May they always be with us.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291148693708968698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714922182513339530.post-1164931015621247632021-10-11T15:29:48.063-04:002021-10-11T15:29:48.063-04:00A good deal about the design. owner and builder he...
