Fishing smack Telegraph.

Anyone know what is going on with Colin's boat? She hasn't been to sea for a few years that I know of.

Interesting info below about how Colin saved her.

Video at bottom is of this year's Maldon Regatta. Sunbeam doing her stuff as usual.

Here are some photos taken from Telegraph's deck mostly when she was racing (light airs).

No engine. Colin is quite a sailor.

I've sailed past her a number of times over the last few years and noted her gradual deterioration.
This year, there's occasionally been life on board suggesting that she might be sailing again in the not too distant future. I hope so anyway.

I heard that she has hogged and had it....

This I fear could be right. I saw Colin on it the other day scrubbing the decks but the bilge pump was going like mad (he never used to have an automatic one) and she looked very low in the water.
I didn't hail him as it has been years since I sailed with him and he probably wouldn't remember me.
