'NARCISSUS' Cygnus GM21
David Cox having retired from dentistry has fulfilled his lifelong ambition ----to motor up through Falmouth's Carrick Roads estuary in his own boat in his 70th year.
It turned out to be the day after his actual birthday due to a gale and rain postponing the launch.
The new boat was ordered in the Autumn of 2006 for anticipated completion in May 2007.David wanted to complete a lot of the woodworking himself.

The heavy duty white hull was fitted with standard grp gunwales,stainless keel and stem band, the bottom was coated in permanent copperplus antifouling. David provided several boards of air-dried Iroko hardwood, he used these to lay the fore and after decks and the eye-catching main sole boards, finishing the effect off with a framed laid panel on the top of the grp engine box.

 |
In the coming summer months David intends to fit secondary steering and engine controls, a fold down canvas cuddy in between enjoying the Cornish Coast.
The photographs show David and his wife on launch day preparing to make their maiden vovage through Falmouth Harbour to Mylor, a dream come true!
We wish them many happy hours on their GM21 Narcissus.
