New Year has started! Oh yes, big spring tides and frozen creeks, the steep lane interesting, and a happy landrover playing on the ice. A Memory and Wagtail are taking shape.....

We have a second hand Memory coming on brokerage, details to be added soon, in need of restoration, not many of these untouched ones left now....

A first for us, a Wagtail sold entirely off the internet, with no viewing before order or at any time during the build. That's hard for old people like me to understand; I need to handle first. Thankfully the result was a truly delighted owner for whom the boat in reality was even better than he had imagined, and considering he started his long journey at 5am to get to us, I wouldn't have wanted him disappointed!

The Tela currently in build is going to be sunning itself in the Med. living in Corfu. I offered to deliver......

and on the international theme, 3 Telas took themsleves off to the Golf du Moribian for the week long traditional boat "raid"..... they showed a clean set of heels to everyone else in their group!

and ...Well done Chris, who won the North Devon Yacht Club's gaffer series in his Tela "Teal"
