Just completed on a lovely Beneteau Oceanis 411 up here in Wales

After 3 failed surveys on power boats, decided to go back to sailing, especially as last sea trial.was an hour and cost £100 in fuel

Can't wait for next year after all improvements are finished

I’m sure once you’ve seen Gosport you might wish to be back in Scotland but many more attractive places to vist in Solent and in particular on the South Island.
