If so I'd be only too pleased to pass the original on to the owner.

Looks like one of Ed Burnett's - Foxhound?

Better enter it into Boatones competition.

Where did you take the pic?

What a shame...

...to have a rubadub towing behind. Should be a nice little varnished clinker pulling dinghy for a boat like that.

Yep, its Foxhound. Lovely boat- when I'm rich I'll get one. But I'll have to be very rich- £160,000 for a 30 footer!

Re: Just an aside ....

Well, the backstays are set up - the small black blob just below the main clew - so its not that.

I suppose there is a point of discussion on the length of the tender's painter?

Re: Just an aside ....

No, all looks good to me. Runners set up ok for stbd tack. On a Bermudan rig I'd be tempted to run a preventer, but not on a gaffer in these conditions.

Arghhhhhh Bisto !!

I was always taught ...... flubbers hard up nose on transom to stop turning turtle in any wind, hard tenders on long painters - shorten in as you go into 'port'.

But I must admit that I do as in picture quite often !!!!!

It was only a bit of fun anyway !!!!
