Readers' Boats....Warning - LOTS OF PICS!

My purchase from 2 months ago, apart from an 14ft day boat on the Thames in the 80's, this is my first foray into boating proper!

Kestrel, 22ft, grp.
Waiting for the tuition to take me out.

This is our X-99 Swash Buckler. We have it since last year, before that it was located in the Orwell-River in Levington, Suffolk with the name „Firestorm“. Until 1995 her name was „Saxon Girl“, and she was located in Howth, Ireland. Now sailing in the Baltic (Germany), but we still have the GBR sail number.
Does anyone know her from the UK?

Not sure if this works or not:)
My new toy for the next couple of seasons.
Snapdragon 670

Whoa! - That's massive! I'll try to resize methinks.

Aaaaah - That's better, sorry for the goof if anyone spotted it.

I am racing her around the Isle of Wight on the 25th June and then taking off around the world.

The video below was put together by my brother.

Contessa 26's have been overall winners so you'd better go fast or keep a low profile :)
We managed 54th overall two years ago in my Twister and thought we had done well until our friends told us they were up in the top 10 :(
