Interesting rowing skiff which may or may note be the Ahoy Boats TS515 and has a pair of small training floats mounted under the rowlock arms to help stability.
It seems a good way to introduce people to sliding seat rowing in a fast, slim and long boat with better stability compared to a conventional skiff of the same size.
These deck garages are a really great feature on modern superyachts
Nice to know that even on a superyacht the garage can be just as cluttered and full of stuff as is the average domestic garage, bit of a shame that the view was obscured by the electrical box, but the garage was pretty full of work benched, tools and materials, was going to need a serious clear out before there's any room for a dinghy tender and other "water toys".
Featured alongside the Emsworth lobster pot Christmas tree, some close up details of Sally a lovery harbour launch.
Perfect for pottering, fishing and picnics around Chichester harbour especially when those strong tides are running
Nice to see her dressed overall.
Wandering around the yard in winter you just know there's something interesting over there.
More hardy types, dinghy sailors, making their way out of the Hamble on a blisteringly cold day.
I am jealous of their enthusiasm and dedication, but having decided it was very much a spectator sport Mrs BB and I were heading for the cake shop and some warming hot chocolate.
That said I did safety boat duty on a chilly, early February Sunday for the Weston SC optimistically described, Spring Series.
Corinthian yachtsman and triple around the world sailor Les Powles passed away in 2022 but his yacht Solitaire is still on the hard in Lymington, sadly land perhaps unsurprisingly looking a little neglected and in need of TLC.
It would be interesting to know if the family intend to keep her or if she's for sale, it would be great is such a famous and accomplished boat could find a renewed life. If I recall correctly Solitaire is a Bruce Roberts design.
I received and email from the owner of Cagarro a 5 meter Setka which is an interesting yacht a 5 meter version of the Globe 580 racing boats.
One of the Global 580 owners and competitors described the experience of building of the yacht as tough, but giving him huge confidence in the boat, how it works and his ability to fix potential failures which is exactly the position you need to be in.
You can read more about Cagarro here which sails from Horta in the Azores which is described as "5 meters of excitement"
