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 - and also thought our much loved little yacht deserved a place amongst the Classic Boats

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.
