I've had a fantastic weekends sailing crewing on a classic boat.
What an event! some of those boats are just so gorgeous and beautifully maintained.
I couldn't take many pictures because when I wasn't actually pulling ropes, I was trying to recover.
Also my first experience of racing with a square sail, don't think that will catch on.
 
'Twas on the good ship Betty Alan, out of Burnham 50 ft + 10 ft of sticking out bits. 8 sails to tweak.
Skipper was slinging her about like a dinghy. We had a few close tussles with Croix de Gardes.
There were some beautiful boats being raced very hard but all with good humour.
I hope I get invited again.
