Issue #135 Mar/Apr 1997

Good as new

Lent my copy out and never got it back. Glad to have this replacement issue. (I'm interested in the final installment on building Beach Pea.)

Beach Pea III

This issue contained the final instalment of the building of Beach Pea. I started the boat 23 years ago and set it aside for over 15 years until the pandemic came along. I've been back at it thanks to this issue and enjoying it so much.
