It would be a bit odd, maybe even rather sad if we hadn't all owned a reasonable selection of our favourite boats... |

Good grief no, there are loads missing. These are simply those I love most.

It would be quicker to ask Nessa what classes she hasn't owned.

Scow moth with original shape rig (never owned one) Fairey Mk4 14 (worked on, sailed, but not owned) Thames A Rater (Just amazing to watch - bad to be to leeward of) Lightning 368 (I know, boring... but actually, the 1st singlehander I've owned for more than 5 years without swapping it for something else - must mean something! |

Can't think of any boats I hate. "Funboat" maybe? Had a good sail in a Skipper 14 once before it sank.

Ha ha.
That's all I can remember about the skipper. In the 70s there was one in the shed at Bury Lake, and as a very small boy all I can remember about it is that people would say "it sinks"! |

The hull and deck mouldings would come apart, and the level it settled at when full was below the water surface. The Sea Cadet one I was asked to quote for a mend many years ago (my quote was "take it to the tip") seemed to have very little positive buoyancy inside it, and what there was was waterlogged.

They always scare me when I see people who have probably bought skippers on ebay about to launch into the solent from the public slip in a force 5 sw. No Bouncy aids or wet suits in site.
That and very old Ents and Fireballs seem to be favourite. |
