Hi Adrian,
This is Jenny Sunflower (Mead) calling. We are thrilled that our first Sunflower only lives up the water. We've been to Ashlett many times including in our Wayfarer. Michael (my hubby)will happily help you with anything you need to know and will even lend a hand. You can see Michael in the photo (in the cockpit) and my bottom and green top standing on the pontoon!
We are still based at Hythe. Our Sunflower is coming out of the water on March 26th. We hope to have her afloat soon afterwards in time for the rally season. We try to attend as many rallies as we can.Everyone is so friendly and we have such fun. There are also excellent non-sailing rallies during the winter too.
We need to exchange phone numbers and then arrange a get together.
We looked after Vienna really well when she was ours. We decided to get a new boat as our children and friends re-newed their interest in sailing with us. 6+ people was a tad squashy a times!
Happy Sailing and yes there is a lightning conductor on Vienna.
Jenny
