As we approach the final hours of this stunning model i'd like to thank everyone for all your bids. Words and pictures don't do this boat justice. The craftsmanship is outstanding and the boat is completely handmade with strips of hardwood. It even features metal trimmings and hand stitching on the seats. Best of luck to the winner and thank you again!
