Moondance, a gaff cutter

Moondance is our boat. She was built by a chap called Martin Brown and he did a very good job. She is 32 feet long, and you couldnt get a chunkier 32 foot boat.

Martin sailed her across the Atlantic. In those days she was yellow. When we bought her she was white. Here she is parked in the Helford River, one of the most beautiful places in the world. Later last year we brought her back to Essex, and right now she is being re-painted in Fambridge. Her last sail was at New Year, when we had a Very Blustery Time.

Here we are - me, Catherine, Alice, Shona, Andrew (left to right) on a lovely sunny day - 1st January, 2007
