Blue halyard line made in Cape Town
Made here and sold world wide!
The South African sun ate up the British made Marlow halyard, mind you that was after a dozen years in the weather.

Brer Terrapin Durban and Cape Town
These pictures came to me by way of Ruth who was married to Pip Smith who built Brer Terrapin over a period of around seven years.
Dr Pip Smith and his baby son, I assume the place is in Durban where the boat was launched?

Brer Terrapin, I assume in Durban harbour?
Out for a sail, the fenders tell me they were using a marina berth?
I assume that is Ruth on the helm?
I crossed my first ocean on this boat and sat in the same position many times.
Brer Terrapin is a ketch, seen here under full sails which look new, I assume the place is Durban and about 45 years ago. Designed by Atkin and named an Ingrid 38 , built in traditional carvel planking to a very high standard, where is she now I wonder?
My thanks to Ruth Smith and her brother in law Mike Smith for the supply of the pictures and information.
