On this page we show some of the boats belonging to our 'Friends'.  These are people who support the ideals of the EOG, but for one reason or another no longer sail our boats.  We welcome them as our friends.

David Cooper's  'Mallard II' David is no longer physically able to sail a boat like his Eventide, but gets afloat in his motor boat on the upper Thames and with sailability the organisation that converts sail boats to allow for disabled. .  He is  very active with boating for the disabled.  David owned an Eventide, 'Evenstar' for many years. You can see what he gets up to helping the disabled here  www.remap.org.uk   or click  here.
     
 

 'Mallard II'  Here in Boulters Lock, with a Gondala!
     
 

'Moonbeam' January 2007 and David has another boat to add to his fleet.  This Seamaster centreboarder is now awaiting David restoring it and making it suitable for his sort of sailing!  For the disabled!  More power to your elbow David!
     
 

David seen here getting ready to reinstall is motor, he has now sold 'Mallard', so will be sailing 'Moonbeam' in 2008!
     
 
 

 
 

  'Mobri II' At first glance you would say 'what is an Eventide doing on the friends page'.  But if you look real close you will see it is in fact a Catalac 9metre!  She has the same break in the sheer and from a distance could be mistaken....

This is Brian and Mo West's boat.  For years they sailed 'Mobri' an Eventide 24 that appears on these pages as 'Kazoo' now.  Brian was Treasurer for many years for the eoa, and latterly auditor. Having left the eoa, Brian has now agreed to be our 'Fund Manager'.  thank you Brian.  Brian is also a Justice of the Peace.  Brian sails the River Blackwater, when he finds time!

 

At the 2003 agm he was staunch supporter of the proposition from the owners, to have associate membership for non owners.  It was as a result of the way this was defeated, that we formed.  The rest is history of course.

     
 
 

 
 

'Silent Annie' seen here motoring out of West Mersea to join the assembled fleet as we sailed to the Pyefleet.
     
 

 Tony and Meg the dog in his dinghy, I am waiting on a pic of 'Silent Annie' Tony and Sally's Spray 36.
     
 

Tony with the paint brush in hand as ever!  she is kept immaculate.!
     
 

Here she is under full sail, a very powerful and smart craft!
     
 
 

 
 

This is 'Sanderling'!  She is the floating home of one of our Senior reps, David Showell.  We crossed wakes with her on our way up to St. Katherine's in 2004!  David and Catherine's Senior can be seen on the Advisors page and the Senior page of the photo gallery!
     
 
 

 
 

This is  'Friend' Duncan Mcgregor's new boat.  Here she is being hauled out of a barn in Northumberland where she has been in store for decades.  He has joined us, even though it is an American design, as he likes the site and what we stand for.  Maybe we might get an update on his progress with a hint or tip that might help other self builders?
     


 

'Grayling'  Graeme and Linda Leaper's last boat, a Pioneer. 

They used to own the Eventide 'Mistress II'.  Resigned from the eoa and joined us as friends.  October 2006 they have sold it..    Sept 07, think Graeme has actually given up sailing, as I have just cleared his garage for him!

     
 
 

 
 

'Straight Across'  Ian Clark's very smart motor cruiser.  Ian has photographed several of our boats for the website!
     


 

'Blackbird'  A fishing smack registered to Fambridge, owned and sailed by Brian Croucher and his good lady, they hailed us October 2006 in Brightlingsea, Brian was the owner of the Eventide 'Piglet', he has stayed on as a friend!  Have to say she sails well, she overtook us sailing from the Colne to the Blackwater!
     
 
 

 
 

'Sea Harmony'  Thad's Albert Strange yawl.  Thad is a professional boat builder from Marblehead USA, and it shows.  See his site for more beauties.

  'Porch'   This is Henry Duvernoy's Sharpie that he sails in Alaska, you have got to like that backdrop!   And the name!  Henry has joined as a friend and is looking for a Junk rigged Riptide or similar.
 
 

 
 

'Fiddler's Green'?  another one!  this is Paul Moktar's new boat, he has just sold his Senior's!  (plural)! Staying with us as a friend.
 
 

 
 

'Diaol Armor',  a Galapagos 43 owned and sailed by Alec Clarkson, his parents sailed their WW 'Pile Cap' round the world years ago...  Welcome Alex, I remember your parents giving a talk at the old C.A.  H.Q. at the Ivory House, many moons ago...

Meet Sailor!  New member John Leaf is looking at buying an MG and here is his crew.  I think MG would have approved!
 

 

 This is 'Freihem'  Owned by Captain Tom Woodson in the USA.  she is a 19ft  'Shell Boat'.

Tom has joined as a 'Friend'  Tom sails his boat on   Lake Pocotopaug in Connecticut,
America. 
  See  the link  for an insight into the area.  As I guessed it has a Native American name and there is also a wonderful legend to go with it!  http://www.geocities.com/trw188/

 

 

The Yacht 'Norma', seen here alongside the quay at Mistley.  Owned by member,  Peter McKue, and kept at North Fambridge, so we hope to catch her out sailing!.  She was given a chapter in MG's 'Little Ships and Shoal Waters', as one of the solid centreboard designs he approved of.  Welcome Peter!
