Dear Geoff,
Let's look at it this way round... my Belfast cost me £3k + in toto over 2 years (and my own work 1.5 yrs. of wkg. 9pm to 3am - only time I was able to get peace and quiet for such complicated work), Lucky, on the other hand, well, £400 in 7 years, but, and how else can I truthfully say, I have had more dedicated single return pleasure every single day, and for every single second of his company, that, for as much as I respect my illustrious vessels - and sailing them - Lucky has given me vastly more. Don't get me wrong, the vessels should be sailed more, but just pressure of work. Little excuse really.
Regards, Bernard
