She arrived, amidst much excitement, in Poole from Bristol on the back of a lorry on Friday and is having a few surgical tweaks before we get her on the water.

One of those, potentially, is to do something about the ol’ mainsheet fixing (you may recall my previous posting – we’re not very happy with the coach roof traveller idea..) So, if anyone has any photos of any changes, they’d be very gratefully received. Or any plans, or even who did the modification so we could contact them? I’m particularly interested in the idea of the traveller across the front of the cockpit (a la Kate’s) or the fixed loop in the cockpit floor (a la John Williams' maybe?).

Other than that, it’s all very exciting... Very much looking forward to getting out there on the water. And maybe even seeing some of you at a Seal rally sometime – looking forward to going a bit further afield once we get ourselves organised!

May she bring you many years of happy sailing and ditch crawling,

i am assuming you are going to keep her in Poole ,our area officer is Keith McCarthy and he has several rallies through out the seasonI i am in the process of organising an impromptu rally on the 4th Aug which will involve Poole /Studland at some point.

keep an eye on the web.

And thanks, Peter, will look forward to seeing you maybe in August when you're passing through Poole. Will still be in search of sea legs (and maybe even rigging?!) so unlikely to be going further afield quite yet...
