Hi Richard,
Thanks for the offer of the cradle, that's very good of you. I'll do some measuring and see if the boat would still be below 'fence level'!
Yes, we bought Pelican at the end of 2004. I know the previous owner and saw all the work that went into her. At the time I had a Trapper TS240, which I was working on, and I kept thinking one day I want a boat like that...
We've been absolutely delighted with her. She's still at Christchurch and we mainly day sail. We have a two year old son Sam who loves sailing but doesn't really sleep much on the boat.
This summer we won our class in the Round the Island (without Sam on board!) so she goes well too!
What's the name of your boat? If we're in Keyhaven I'll look for you.
Best regards,
Paul
