Showell's beautiful little 'Shelduck' out on
the River Blackwater. |

We like the
'Naval' touch. All ships boats had badges like this, even the humble
Montague whalers sported them, normally with the parent 'ship's' coat of arms and
motto. Nice. |

Tony tells us
the reason for the sails in the garden it to make sure the new sails are OK!
It's not a way of moving the trailer. |

Nice shot of
the cockpit. |

It's OK Tony
We all do it, a friendly pat as we leave! |

1999 and the

I have not
compressed this one, so it will take a moment or two to open, but it's worth
it. you can plainly see the rigging on this, a gunter rigged Senior,
complete with wire and 'span shackle'. |
