Kala Lua

Make: Norman

Model: 18.5

Engine: 0HP Outboard (Petrol)

£165 on e-bay, Norman 18.5 early model. We called it Kala Lua. Gutted, sprayed, refitted, trimmed in English white oak, Arisa (my Thai wife) thought she'd get sea-sick so we sold it. Stupid really because later on we could have brought it with us as we found out that even in really wet and bouncy seas she did NOT get sea sick. The refit took about 3 months in total. Had to hurry because I was also doing a Norman 20 called Meifeng at the same time and needed to get the boats out of the yard and garden as the place was getting cluttered. This was originally a series posted on the old Dawncraft site as a "how to do it" series.
