Nah. Racers don’t reef until they get wet or something breaks.

Who needs a windvane or autopilot when a homing pigeon is prepared to do the work.

Ok, I'll bite. What do you call a homing pigeon that can't find its way home?

We've a few birds aboard over the years, include a few pigeons. Our last visitor a few years ago was this marsh tit, or maybe willow tit, that took a ride across the Greifswald Bodden on our way from Peenemunde to Gager.

Um… a pigeon? Sounds a bit like what will they call Postman Pat when he has retired….

How smart is that? Seen yesterday off Harwich. Unfortunately the sun came across and I didn't get to see her name.

It was busy with comings and goings at the entrance to the Deben this morning, a couple of hours or so before HW, and a couple of PWCs going around in circles...
We went for a swim off the sandbank.

Lovely pix of a lovely boat. I believe she could be Lora, built in Burnham in 1911 and designed by J. Paine Clark. In the ’50s and ‘60s, when she was already quite old, she was raced successfully with EAORA and RORC. First with Ralph and Phil Herring and then with David Edwards. With the latter she won Overall in the North Sea Race in 1957, it was their first RORC race. These times are all well described in 50 Years of East Anglian Offshore Racing, an informative little book by the late Jan Wise.
Her current gaff cutter rig must have been restored later because in her racing era she was a Bermudan sloop. I think she may be based these days at Suffolk Yacht Harbour.

not wishing to intrude on Habebty's thread... I think we had the same thought.
