The Reason for the blog is for me as much as anyone reading it really, I want a bank of memory's to look back on, use for a level pe, and also to chart my progress in the boat.
I guess I'll begin;
So after 6 months of looking I hope I've finally found a boat!! Good news! It's in Chichester which is close enough for Dad to drive me without too much begging, which is quite a nice bonus. The only draw back is it's about a grand over what I wanted to pay so I'll be in a lot of dept to the bankers untill the summer, when all of my wages will be eaten by HSBC, the buggers! It's in good condition and is fairly new (455 sail number) comes with all the bling that 300's do including vast amounts of proslip neatly organised in the hull. The man who I'm buying it from seem's like a genuinely nice guy, which is one of the benefits of sailing I feel (that is that almost everyone is as helpful as possible almost all the time). I'm hopefully going to view and collect it next saturday (the 19th).
About Me
- Bryn
- I started sailing aged 10 with my Local Sea Scouts, 1st Sandleheath, in a clapped out 420 and some pico's. I bought a topper (21050) at age 13 and sailed it at Spinnaker Sailing club Ringwood. Now I'm 6ft and 70 kilos so I thought a new challenge is in order, after floating in a N12 for a season. I'm buying 455 and this is just how I get on I guess... Enjoy
Why 300?
