New Boat

[Jomo]

Just in case anyone's interested, Joy and I have changed boats. Wild Otter has moved on, though not very far, and we now own Allegria of Wight:

We are sad to see Wild Otter go, she was (is) a lovely boat. As we head towards (hopefully) more time on the water, we needed some more space, and more light. Now, all I've got to do is change the engine, cure the damaged keel, replace the stay-sail foil, replace the radar, re-seat at least 2 hatches.............etc. I may see some of you sailing next year

Anyway, you know where we'll be for a while if you fancy a cuppa, that'll be on the hard, not in the water.

Ian

Nice! I expect Joy will want the sign removed from the nav table!

 

[Gargleblaster]

A proper boat like that, I hope you are going to fit windvane steering.

I couldn't understand the min and max draft figures but then found the 'Lifting centre board' - That'll be handy

Hi John....it's on the list, but not as high up as I'd like !

Alchemist has one for sale - tell Joy it's a once in a lifetime opportunity

Thanks to all.......I don't think we'll be in the water until next season, but am hoping not to take quite as long as Neil had to
