WBA Sailing Day on Sunday last, and the four boats on the water were all luggers. Now that might be a first.
Krzyztof was there with his lovely "Delores", a Salmo 15-s, a Polish design a which reminded me a bit of the Ilur, with its straight stem and full front section. A fine looking craft indeed. Gavan came along with "Tosh", an Oughtred Little Tern, and Kelvin and Palz were there with "Lily", a Nick Atkins design. Unfortnuately we didn't get all four luggers in the one frame at the one time, would have been a great shot.
It was a lovely gentle sailing day, just enough wind to keep you motivated. Something about a newly launched boat that seems to bring out a special smile in the builder.
