Muphry's Law strikes again!

Commercial ships normally have name, port of registry, official number and registered tonnage on theirs.
I would presume for a yacht that name, port and/or SSR would be sufficient. For the few pounds it'd cost to get it made online we will definitely be getting one.

So the big question is, what colour should the ink be?

 

[Stemar]

Red. It looks far more impressive than blue or black. I couldn't take anyone who uses green ink seriously

"Muphry" was not a typo!

Wasn’t it Colin Jones who didn’t a lot of articles in PBO about his Colvic motorsailer (Abemama?).

It was, I knew Colin and his lovely wife Rita, but unfortunately have lost touch with them. They were based in Lyme Regis when not on board Abemama. I do hope they’re both alive and well.

I really enjoyed his articles in PBO. Well written, informative and entertaining.
My memory is that the reason they stopped was that Colin sadly died. I can’t find any reference as to when, and my most sincere apologies if I’ve got it wrong (again).

If that’s correct, and I suspect it is, that’s sad news. I certainly haven’t seen Abemama around for probably 15 years or so.
