As promised, here are a couple of photos taken in the garden this morning. I have a couple of rigs for the yacht, but both are quite tatty and I hope to replace them once I've made sure that there are no other problems with it. The rudder & keel have been removed to make storage easier until I can get around to sorting it out.

If you mean my lucky purchase of a Tony Abel (probably a Mallard) IOM - I'll try to take some tomorrow.

Having bought an unnamed Tony Abel IOM yesterday, I was pleased to find this topic and especially the picture of the unbuilt Mallard, as that hull and the deck cut-outs look exactly like my newly acquired but well worn example. I shall refer to it as a Mallard until someone tells me it isn't!
