SV Last Vintage

Hi,
Just joined the Forum. My name is Julian Alcorso, boat name is Last Vintage. We are in Queensland, Australia just completing a major refurbishment.
Last Vintage is a 33 meter wooden sailing ketch approx 200 tonnes.
She was built in Fiji in 1981 and is now my 'home'
The re-fit has taken 3 years and is now all but complete. I intend to head off around the world in a couple of months time heading initially to the Med. via the Indian Ocean and the Suez Canal.
I would love to post a pic of LV but it seems the site ill not allow any of my pics as they are too large???
Any ideas how I can reduce their size??
Cheers, Jules

Howdy and Welcome Aboard CF Jules!

I would love to see your boat.
I will send you a Private Message with my tips on how to upload photos and resizing them too. Very easy if you follow the tips.

As I recall, the YouTube video is silent. Just watch the steps. Or try following my instructions or method I sent in PM.

Re: SV Last Vintage

That's her about six months ago. A lot more work since then but just about finished. Or I should say as finished as a wooden boat will ever be. NOT.

I just right click on the photo on your website, then left click "copy" from the drop down menu...

Then in the Cruiser Forum message window (that's this message) I right click again to open the drop down menu, then left click "Paste", the image should then be inserted...

You may have to drop (hit enter) the cursor down to the next line if you don't want the picture in the middle of any text...

This direct from your website...


EDIT: By the way, have you fitted a wine cellar?
