At Last! After 23 years in the business I've made the front cover!
What will follow-fame, fortune, or a visit from the Inland Revenue?

[reginaldon]

Yes that certainly is 'something else'.

 

[EastCoastChris]

Just had a sneaky read of the story online in my lunch break, fantastic. Really pleased to see how well she's turned out, I remember watching the piece you did on her launch.

10/10

Chris

Thanks everyone. Although the real praise must go to the nerve of the Photographer, who took the shot from our dinghy...and was six monthe pregnant at the time....Vanessa Bird!

 

[EastCoastChris]

Having bought the magazine now, perhaps this issue should be known as the Vanessa issue? With the cover photo and several articles, someone's been keeping busy

It is a small club indeed.

While I do not own her (wish I did) I sail on her a lot but not enough.

Beautiful boat I envy you. May you enjoy her for a long long time.

Just received my March copy of Classic Boat in the post today, and that article is definitely 12/10!

Congratulations Nick and Vanessa on bringing Ocean Pearl back to sailing life - I had the pleasure of having a look around their fine vessel at Yarmouth Classics in 2008 (and enjoying tea and home made cake with her crew!), and she is simply gorgeous, a fine example of a craftsman's art combined with sound practical experience.

Fair winds, and happy sailing times ahead this summer.

 

[Woodlouse]

Well done. And a fine cover girl shot too. I'll try and find a copy to read your life story now. It's always nice to see yourself appreciated.

Full marks to Vanessa for the cover pic ........ absolutely gorgeous! .... and the boat's quite nice as well.

 

[Blueboatman]

That cover pic is so right, it could be a painting !

Of course, now you are famous, how does one address Sir on here?

Well done.

 

[jecuk]

You might be on the cover but we are also front and centre in the Dennett's boatyard picture. Was very surprised and chuffed about that!!

 

[westernman]

The staysail is sheeted too hard

 

[Seanick]

The staysail is sheeted too hard

Yes, we always have it like that. It works so well we beat a couple of new pilot cutters in the Round the Island Race by an hour and a half...

Yours,

Sir Seanick.

ps Thanks everyone!

pps posting on the trim tab to follow 'by demand'.

pps Jeuk-Nice one too.

Well done Vanessa for getting such a perfect shot. Its the one we all want of our boats. Trouble is single handing, I cant work out how to get the boat to stop and wait for me to get back aboard once I have the pic! Several hundred yards of line connected to the self steering.... ?

I did once put my other half over the side to get a 'sailing' shot. She was not overimpressed. Sadly the pic only showed half the boat because the dinghy was bobbing around too much. After that she refused point blank to have another go!
