What a fantastic boat, the photo doesn't do justice to the varnished topsides which were positively glowing in the evening sun and reflected ripples off the water.

It is totally outrageous that you have only posted ONE! beautiful photograph of this gorgeous yacht! I think imposing this sort of suffering on us boat fanatics is simply just not cricket - come on Max don't be so stingy.
ReplyDeleteIt’s great to see Sunmaid V back on the Hamble. I first saw her at Port Hamble when she was new and I have always thought she was the best looking boat of her era. Owen Parker who later bossed Ted Heath’s racing crews, was the racing skipper for the owner, a Mr Bowler or Bowles whose daughter was my pal Charlie’s girlfriend at the time. Anyway, I said a few complimentary things about the boat to Parker and asked politely if I could have a look around on board. I was firmly and impolitely told to get lost!
ReplyDeleteLast I heard Sunmaid was in a rather dilapidated state somewhere up in the northeast. Someone with very good taste and plenty of money has obviously put a lot of effort into restoring her. I hope she’ll be around and looking beautiful for another 50 years.
