Agh.... Sunburst! One of David Boyd's last designs - built at Robertsons across the Holy Loch from our house in Scotland when I was a boy. She looks great for her age. The 8CRs were a fine class on the Clyde in the 1960s. The little Piper OD shares the unmistakable Boyd style and pedigree and is still raced enthusiastically in Scotland.
We live close to Bursledon Bridge on the Hamble River. This is about boats, wildlife and people in the upper reaches of the Hamble, but mostly about old boats and things nautical.
