Elegance


We test-sailed this lovely boat today - she's 18 tons of beautifully crafted teak construction, well-mannered under her 4 sails, a gaff-rigged ketch, not sailed more than once or twice a year for the last 4 years, so in need of some TLC. Now it is only a question of organising payment... and then some months of weekend work, and getting to know her ways on the sea.
