Robert Clark 42- Bosun- History request

[Bosunof]

I have recently taken up caring for Bosun and am interested in what she has completed before we met.

If you have any information on previous owners and the expeditions she has taken part in I would be grateful to hear from you.

Thank you

Is that the 'Bosun' that was at Port Edgar all last year? New mast in 2005/6? If so, I can help - if not, I can't!

 

[Bosunof]

Yes, that is the one. I had her at Port Edgar since last February.

\what do you know of her?

Cheers

I delivered some sails to her cockpit for you... sorry, can't remember your name! But I do know that the person you bought her from knows her history a couple of owners back. Have you talked to him?

Thanks Shuggy

We spoke on the phone but didnt meet. I have used the sails so your journey was well worth while.

How are you getting on? Where have you got your boat? Bosun is at Fairlie. Ive had quite a few jobs done on her and am doing a considerable amount myself. Luckily I am now retired and have time to do stuff... so stuff I do. And there is lots of it.

Have lost contact details for Toby Clayton, who sold me Bosun. If you have his contact details could you let me have them and I will chat to him.

Thanks for your response.

Cheers

Frank - you have a PM.

If a PM is a poor memory then I am guilty. I have had to change PCs as the last one had a hard drive failure which meant I lost a load of stuff. Can you help?

Thanks

PM = Private Message. Click on the flashing envelope under your username at the top - PMs are good when you don't want every man & his dog reading private information - like someone's phone number. No memory insult intended!
