    Two very smart, well built boats and a pleasure to see current boat club activities after all this time, Oh that the same applied in Wales.

Century Yacht - another oldie !
This Century Yacht belongs to BMBC Dave and was revived after many years in the loft ! - Seen here on her more recent inaugural sailing - certainly sails better here than up there !. ⛵

    Or as we taught some of the Moroccan sellers of re-coloured crystals to say when hawking their wares as gem crystals, e.g. amethyst -
    "It's a genuine original forgery Sir" 😁😂

    Beautiful yacht and well done. Too much goes into a skip, this proves a point.

    Very pretty, think some oldtimers would be turning over in their graves to see sails those colours. Just imagine mixing those from ochres and cow urine then being blinded as you dressed the sails. What barge is that? is it the HFM kit?

    Thanks for the advice Ken, I will pass on to Barry.
    I know Windstar sails like she is on rails under right conditions / sails and setup .
    With the Robbe brand name behind her, she has a real feeling of presence and quality on the water - wish she was mine !
