Hi Ron I am the proud owner of an ancient Westerly Fulmar, in my view, the best sailing boat that Westerly ever made. She is ten years older than my 4/4 though.
It has been an awful season but we have been very lucky with our weather. We normally crane out at the end of October.

Are you a sailor too Glynn ? What are you sailing ? I`ve a rattly old Eventide which due to a bevy of circumstances has only been out a couple of times this season, and they`re already talking of craning out. These days I can`t run fast enough to keep up.
