Re: A new £20,000 yacht has been crushed when a 40-tonne crane c

Pretty sure there was no slight against Westerly's intended there, only about the editorial.

Re: Drink Sailing...

We had (have?) a bit of a plan to make Tigh na Truish our local too. We've loved it everytime we've been. Decent homemade veggie grub, which aint that common it seems, great beer, lovely atmosphere.

And on the subject of drinking aboard .....

Only 4 in Scotland, but Tigh na Truish was one of them, plus the Byron Barnton on Sanda & The OysterCatcher on Loch Fyne ... All great choices.

Want to scribble on someone elses boat?
