Update on stanchion bases

Over the winter lay-up I had some new stainless steel station bases welded up and fitted. They have been on for 4 months now and they are working really well. I hope to get a couple of photos next time.


Birthday Sail

I am 40!! Are you amazed that I reached this age? I am.

As you know, we need to keep things fairly simple for my (current) owner. So we agreed that his birthday and mine would be on the same day. It saves him trying to find the documents file each year.

To celebrate our combined birthdays he decided to take a mate round to Tollesbury, meet up with another mate and have a beer or two.

What could go wrong? If you know about our last visit to Tollesbury you'll understand why this question needs to be addressed!

No mishaps at all, nothing broke, didn't hit the bottom, nothing.

On the way back we were overtaken by a beautiful 1937 Gaff rigged cruiser, Robinetta.



A great sail and over a couple of glasses of ale we started planning our summer trip to Middelburg, Holland.
