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.
 
Glynn

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.
Cheers 
Ron.
