A16 A16 Dervorguila, newly in the water after a few years of rest ashore
-
A16 The hull is a slightly different shape to the later boats aft.

A16 The rubbing strake is enormous forward – great strength and sheds water at sea.
-
A16 Very tidy board case

-
A16 Very short galley area.
-

-
A16 More port lights give light in the stern cabin.
