That's a nice account of a good holiday, Graham. Windermere is a good lake for sailing - especially now the power boats are controlled. On the tender subject -...
I¹ll try and get you measurements. But as it normally lives rolled up and will be difficult to measure when rigged you may have to wait until the winter. CC...

I'm so jealous! I have sailed from Largs (with Sunsail), and round the Kyles of Bute. I think it is one of the greatest sailing areas. Unfortunately, we had a...
