A final comment and over due acknowledgements

August 2009 - and I've come to the end of the build blog. It remains to be seen if we start another blog to record the sailing adventures of Idle Fiddler and its crew.

However, I cannot let the opportunity pass without making sure that my 'build partner' Paul Lewis receives the recognition that is due to him. Yes, I wrote the blog, and consequently have received many kind comments on the quality of the build etc but virtually all of the items that evoked praise were down to Paul - they were his ideas and his craftsmanship.

We've greatly enjoyed the whole project and in all the 4 and half years we've never even had a cross word or disagreement. Thankfully too, we've had very understanding and supportive wives - so a big thanks to Anne and Sheila who have scraped, sanded, painted, shoved, lifted, listened, mopped brows, and provided endless tea , food and encouragement!

I built a Pathfinder and have sailed it around New England, US, and off the coast of Maine. Glad I found your blog, and congratulations on your completion of Idle Fiddler.

Hi alan, I have just started building Pathfinder in Adelaide, Australia and of course have looked at your blog on Idle Fiddler which I admire greatly. Would you be able to contact me regarding your reasons for installing a lift haul line from the bottom of the centre board and also send me a sketch of the mechanism. I am considering doing the same.
Cheers Roger Knapp
