Anyone had much experience with John Pugh boats? I just bought one today and am thinking of circumnavigating aus in it

I met John Pugh once. He came to the yard where I was building my ferro and asked what the material was.

He is a well respected designer of steel yachts, some of which were amateur built, but may not be well known outside of Australia.

I do not recall a 28'. May I suggest that you post details of your boat, it's fitout and condition.

Some info on your experience could also help.

Bought it on ebay today, got it cheap. Advertised as 28 foot John Pugh and all I have is his word and pics to go by. Got 3 more panels and other goodies to add to the inventory. Been on the water most my life, never undertaken anything like I am planning though.
