I surveyed this home built Yacht yesterday down in Filby, North Norfolk. The Survey was requested by the owners insurance company prior to launch.
Cuckoo is a 12 meter aluminium sail boat which the owner had built over the past 5 years. She is built on the same lines as an Ovni 395 which were built by Alubot. Plates were 10mm on bottom and 6 mm on the sides and top. Engine was a 45 hp Perkins also running hydraulics for the engine and winch. She was sailed from Lowestoft as a hull before the owner started fitting her out at his business premises.
Surveyors comments: What can I say... a huge pat on the back for the owner I think.

| Now then... how do we move her out of here! |
 |
| Rudder designed so the vessel can dry out on the North Norfolk beaches... perfect |
 |
| Unique dagger boards that are lifted with winches so the Yacht can sit down on the beach |
 |
| Have you ever seen Cruches so big.... the mast can be lowered by one person with a huge A frame... great design |
 |
| Just checking the rigging! |
 |
| An old Perkins 45HP bought in a box... had never been run... what a find! |
 |
| Any ideas! |
