Here is Foxglove - a Freya 39
Designer - Halvorson
Disp about 26000lbs
Seen here in the Tobago Cays
Now in Annapolis, heading South cos its FREEZIN here!

Her sister 'Freya' is the only boat to have won the Sidney Hobart three times consecutively. Not sure she would manage it now though! You can see Freya moored just off the beach in Bequia.

Wish we could do without the 'scaffolding' on the back.... but needs must!
 
Piture of my boat(s)

This is our new boat Flapjack, she is a Bruce Roberts Norwest 34, we only got her a month ago, no sailing pics yet so if anyone sees us in the Solent please feel free.





This is our old boat Katarina B, she is a 25’ Itchen Ferry, she was our first boat but is now up for sale as 2 boats into one bank balance don’t go :-)



At anchor in Mupe Bay

Our Rival 34

We've just aquired our beautiful Rival 34 Sarah Giddings. This was taken on our first weekend in Southampton Water after visiting the boatshow. Her permanent home will be at Torpoint on the Tamar. Previous boat was a Hurley 22 which is my Brother's now.
 
Vonasi

This is our Westerly Discus 'VONASI' (V-oyaging ON A S-mall I-ncome).
Built 1982 and owned by us since 2001.
We liveaboard and have spent the last five years sailing from the UK to Turkey.
 
Here's my 15'10 of joy, a 1972 Wayfarer Mk1 composite.
The yacht in the background is 'Elinca', a Challenge 67. They beat us back to Stornoway that day, but not by as much as you might expect!

The Starlight 35 really is a cracking sailing boat

And yes I know the sails arent set well but we still won!:eek: We had just started a series of rolls so had centralised the main and were trying to wind in the spinny. 25 knots true off Cardiff
