The chimney is such a useful landmark, its demolition will sadden many.

Were beans involved?

I had an L17 too, a great little ship.

Thank you. I am aware of the difference and the history, but I do not believe that change would make it materially better to windward with bilge keels. Happy to be corrected.

If the Seamaster has a new engine, that’s the one. As a previous owner of a leisure 22, which is all but the same as the 23, I can say from experience they do not sail to windward at all well. If the L23 has an inboard then that’s ok as long as it’s quite new and does not require replacement...

It’s a good job they were keeping a competent watch

Yes please. Will send pm

Pictures?

Inspirational. Without the physical strength that the all-male crews will have had to hand, imagine the psychological fortitude they all must have had to make up for it. Combined with the scepticism from the sailing/ sponsorship community that is a very determined group of people. Hats off to them

Lots of filming. Filmed the wind speed on the way out, but not on the way back. If I’d been sailing in a F10 and was filming, a shot of the wind instrument would be infinite bragging rights.

Stating that in your OP might have been a helpful step that would it not?

With the greatest respect, you’ve given those who might help virtually no contextual information at all.

Have you antifouled and cleaned your prop this season?

I’d like to see Dimbleby out in his (new) old gaffer again. Perhaps now he has more time on his hands...
