Very nice McNautical, many happy days to come aboard her. Illustrious name too, a famous one was HMS Raven, a 14 gun British Royal Navy gun boat in the 1700's similar to this one!
Wow! lovely classic Nordic style. There is something about a classic boat which lifts the spirits when you look at it. All set for some blue water cruising. Congratulations, and I wish you much enjoyment.
Lovely boat! check the forestay fitting on the bowsprit for cracks. I once re-built one which had a tiny crack in the end of a weld but the entire inside of the weld was eaten out by crevice corrosion. Just recently i was looking at another Hc and checked the same fitting out of curiosity to find it had a small crack in the same weld also.
