Here are some pictures of the first proto type. Due to poor communication, a couple of silly mistakes were made - see comments on bottom picture.
Who wants this specific fly tying station for free and as is.
It can be collected at either Isando, Johannesburg or Northriding, Johannesburg.
The first name listed HERE gets it.
Then PM me your collection point preference and I will provide you with further details.
Yes please!!!!I'll grab it!!

Wiets, I must thank you for your extremely kind offer. It was actually a fluke that I was the first to arrive.....I basically posted the 'straw' reply within split seconds of you posting your photos and generous offer, even though the time on here does not reflect as such (unless I was viewing page one at the time and missed your final entry). I do feel that there are many more deserving causes than me and as such would like extend your generous offer to one of those. So let's take it a step further, the first guy to reply to this thread after reading this gets the prize!

Hi Wiets, it looks far from too bad. I realise it is for your yacht, but my requirements for a portable tying set, are a bit different. I generally tend to want something that can fly well in a luggage bag for my trips to the Vaal, or alternatively, be stashed somewhere in the bakkie for those trips to Lesotho, Rhodes, Richtersveld etc. I need the smallest most compact setup ever invented. Your size is just way too big for me. I thought long and hard about this, and looked at many options, eventually I settled for the Marco Polo set, with the bag for materials.The tying set fits into C&F fly box, which in turn fits into a very clever space in the bag. The padded bag takes all the materials you would ever need, and is 35cm x 25cm, and 10cm when packed full, and can hold more stuff than you would believe. This too me is the ultimate portable set. Yours will probably be perfect for you, and I would like to see a pic when it is complete. The only problem with mine, is that it is quite expensive.
By the way, where is your tacht moored?
hehe....you ungrateful bastard Missed your chance Boet. What the heck, I'll grab it. I can already picture all my bits and pieces adorned on it. Thanks Wiets!!!

Hi Andre
The yacht is in Cape Town - Revelations
The Marco Polo Fly Tying System is indeed something very special - also fantastic quality.
