South Coast adventures - the Maiden voyage -

[Cloona]

every picture tells a story and as I enjoy other people picture so much I thought I would risk my technical (in)competence with an attempt to post an image -

Having bought this little princess in Newhaven we got her rigged and out into Portsmouth harbour one happy May day. It was also my debut on the south coast and a duly joyful occasion unspoilt by the refusal of the Seagull to even create a spark. Fortunately the vessel was properly equipped - with a suitable paddle The picture was taken by my father, a Gosport boy who can remember the D-day embarkation from nearby Hardway and who thought it would be an ideal spot to start out on our adventures.

Oh jolly nice and cheerful. Is she a Robert Clarke ?

Many happy hours sailing to her and the crew.

Rig a rowlock in the gunwhale, make a sweep, and you won't need a Seagull. Much healthier /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Lovely, lovely.

The Seagull will make an excellent spare anchor. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I reckon so. Trevera25 has one which is landlocked. So not as much fun.

Check S.O.S. website for sick Seagulls, they will help sort your Seagull. Looks like you were having fun!
