Latest on Kaon just stripped decks to bare wood stuck down the panels that were coming loose (thank heavens for Wests and a heater. Decks now to be painted Bright Yellow ( yes I know its not varnish but decks are still useable just no longer pretty) at the same time gonna try and loose some weight this week by cutting down transom and taking some chunks out of where ever I can get away with it. ? Then hopefully renamed SHARK INFESTED CUSTARD. ? Then I can get on with giving GILLESPIE some much needed TLC |

This photo was taken by photographer Ron Channon of Bristol during Salcombe regatta in 1977 I think. The helm and owner was Tim Bass and the crew Helen Saxby now Lloyd. Both are still members of Salcombe yacht club . I think Tim sailed more regularly in Topsham at that time.
