I haven't sailed since early June LAST year ...... your pics, particularly the spinnaker reach, remind me of what I'm missing.
Your mate Allan has a good eye!

That recently?
Ah well .......running keeps me (just about) on the sane side (well, mostly).
I hope bashing out a bit of Quo on your guitar, accompanied by a beer or two, works for you.

Thanks!
I had to google the American 16: she'd be a perfect boat here in /burnham today.

I left a GP14 off my list, which I bought last year and tidied up to sail with my grandchildren this summer but we all know what happened to that so it's just sat on my drive still. I've not yet sailed it, although it can see down the Western Solent....

I'm passing the time designing Lottery Boat. It keeps me amused!
Haven't picked the guitar up in months, lacking motivation on that front. Must get back to playing before the fingers seize up

I’ve got 8 guitars - and no talent. Also 8 shotguns - and nowhere to shoot. When the boat comes out for the winter I’ll have a boat and no chance of sailing.
I must choose my hobbies with more care ?

You beat me on guitars: I've only got five (including a lovely little black Martin).
It's taken a few years to admit it to myself, but I've now had to accept that its my lack of talent that holds me back, rather any inadequacies in the instruments!
No shotguns though ....... I'm way too much of a peace loving old hippy to shoot at anything, even if its inanimate!

Never owned a really good guitar, always either budget to mid-range or battered second hand. What the heck, you hit it and it makes a noise. Happy days

You 'hit' your guitars?
Man ..... that's real rock 'n roll!
I'm pretty certain I wouldn't know a really good guitar if it hit me

Well my playing style ain't exactly delicate is it?
I'm happy to give any of your potentially good guitars an extended field trial. I'll let you know if they're any good in, oh, a decade or two ...

You're very welcome to borrow them, but we might have to discuss the return period in a tad more detail.
Oh ...... and don't get your hopes up: I'm sure they're absolutely nothing special, and some are quite possibly more towards the cheap rubbish end of the geetar spectrum.
