Whilst looking through the bilges of my computer I found these albums compiled by my late dad (Piotaskipper/Krusty).
He wanted to create a record of some of the places he had visited in over 60 years spent “cruising”, as dad preferred to call it, in
his favourite part of the world. This was mainly the west coast of Scotland but he also loved Norway and the Faeroes did not escape his
attention either! A lot of the photographs were taken before “the digital age”, the oldest being taken in 1958 and so have been scanned
from paper prints or 35mm transparencies. As a result the please look at the “content” of the pictures and dads comments about them rather than the “quality” of them.
They give a taste of why dad enjoyed cruising the beautiful and sometimes remote parts of the Scottish west coast and I hope they might inspire others to explore new waters,find new favourite sights and quiet anchorages.

Alastair, I thank you for putting that up.

Some years ago, when your Dad first mentioned the V Riding Sail and posted it here we exchanged a few posts - I was thanking him for sharing.

Then my computer hard drive failed and I lost the downloads just about when he passed away.

So, now I can complete the job!

Again, many thanks.

I read many of your father's posts, but couldn't find the pictures. Is there any chance you still have them? These albums showed unavailable. I will be building that riding sail though!

Re the albums being unavailable, the thread is over 4 years old!
The PDFs are very valuable information, and I'll be building a riding sail based on them!. The photos and stories though, sound wonderful, and irreplaceable. So much of that is being lost these days, it's all YouTube videos etc it feels like. Since the original poster of the thread was nice enough to share those from his father, I thought perhaps he might be willing to do so again.
