Started sailing when I was in the Scouts. Crewed for several round the IOM races. My first boat was a clapped out plywood Mistress, then a Westerly Windrush, then a 9m Catalac, a Nicholson 26, and now a Neptunian 33 ketch rigged motor-sailer.
Messing around in boats & keeping spouse happy (Tricky one that.)
