HI Michael - yes I went along to the meeting and it appears an olive branch has been extended to the Cambria from the Patron of the Cambria Trust. The exciting...
Go faster stripes spring to mind - look like they go behing the Chine? Are they made of rubber? Some sort of patch? -they don't appear to have a waterline...

HI Michael. I've posted photos of DIONE not DINAH and can I come out of the corner and take off the big cap with the 'D' now? I did previously say I was blind...
These are the first good photos I have seen of this yacht barge. Very nice lines - especially underwater. I don't know much about her, was she built by Cooks?...
HI Michael Berth is close - approx 1.5 miles from Churchyard; if you continue around the seawall you pass the Surrey, then a place called Twinney (possible...
