Feeling a bit disloyal but owe you guys so much

Post by StUrrock »

Whilst looking for a Mac 26x/m I just, by chance, stumbled upon this gaff rigged boat, so sorry it was love at first sight/ sail

http://www.yarmouth23.co.uk/y2312.html

It hasn't all the attributes of a Mac, but it just felt right for us.

I owe my Mac owning friends and the members of this site a great deal of gratitude, you have all taught me so much and inspired me to go for boat ownership.

I shall still visit this site regularly and anyone of you visiting the UK are more than welcome to come for a sail with me!!

Beautiful boat, nice "classy" interior, lots of built-in designs for comfort.

Branded is right! I was meant to be going to a Mac UK get together this weekend, but that is the hand over day for the new boat.

Whoops! Now officially Double Branded!

Chichester at the moment, come and see us, hopefully going to sail her round to Tollesbury in a month or so. That'll be quite an adventure in itself.

Sorry I'll miss you this weekend!

Someone from this discussion, emailed recently re- having a sail whilst in the UK for the Olympics.

So sorry have forgotten your names (my emails have totally been screwed up), you are still most welcome to come aboard, please just email again!!

Quite proud in the fact that we may well be the only gaff rig involved in the UK MOA 25 year bash! :wink:

Even more proud in the fact we were invited in the first place 8)
