Hi Gary,

I haven't weighed my NYMPH, but Rick's numbers seem about right.  My wife
and I could easily lift it and put it on the roof rack of the car.

The bottom and sides of mine are covered with fiberglass too.

If anyone is interested in a NYMPH, mine is available, in as new
condition; red hull, white boot top, and blue bottom (anti fouling).  The
interior is varnished.  

It also has an official British Board of Trade "Plimsoll" mark on both
sides, so that you can see that the vessel is not overloaded.

Two adults, a case of beer, and a supply of food will bring it down to
the Plimsoll line.

A pair of elegant, lightened, and bright finished oars, as well as bronze
oarlocks are included, as is my skate board wheel transom dolly, so that
you can easily move it from parking lot to launch ramp, wheelbarrow
style,  without scuffing paint.  It operates equally well in tractor or
pusher configuration.

It was built by a professional (me), and represents the 4th stitch and
glue boat I have built, along with a bunch of model sailboats, rubber
band powered submarines, and a 30 foot gaff rigged cutter, built in '46 /
'47.

I want an arm and a leg for it - obviously - but if the leg is shapely
enough, I might be willing to settle for just the leg.

Remember, this would make someone a fine, unexpected, and surprising
Christmas present, in which case the big red Christmas bow will be
supplied by the builder. 

Connie
