In Grahams own words" I saw this little Greek fishing boat in Skopelos Town Harbour last year and fell in love.
She certainly is lovely, we have some followers who are much more familiar with traditional Mediterranean boats than Graham and I, so maybe they might be able to comment on the design?
I don’t know how typical she is or what the type is called.
She seemed different from all the other local boats because instead of the usual double end shape which look almost Nordic, she has this plumb stem flared midships and counter stern, really lovely. I reckon she must have been around 18-20 feet in length.
I’m guessing the rig is Lateen judging by the length of that yard, I’d love to see her sailing."

Were expecting to feature Grahams beautiful Coot dinghy very soon.
