Had the end of my top spreader damaged but marina sorted it out very smoothly the next day
complete rig check and adjustment and free night in marina
The towing boat didnt take into account the strong wind which pushed it over on to me

That is not a gulet, but a replica of an ancient ship. I am not sure if it is the same one which came into Datca harbour under sail, when I was there two years ago, and its crew brought it alongside the quay where the coastguard boat goes, dropping the sail as they came in. A real bit of skill to watch.

Shouldn't the steer board be on the starboard side?

No, I think it's a reconstruction of Jason's Argo

Surely you have previously written YM boat test report about it, JJ. circa 1960 ..... BC ! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Quote... not very close winded and slow in the tack making her hard to tack between Scylla and Charibdis but, with a decent wind on the beam she can slip by the Siren like she's standing still etc etc...

Down below she's a bit Spartan with limited stowage but fine for weekend sailing or the odd crossing of the Hellespont or passage to the Golden Fleece (aka marina).
