A boating acquaintance of mine has decided to hang up his sailing boots and walk a landward path now…
The chaps boat, Frith, a rather tasty Finesse 24 has bee kept at Burnham Marina for a number of years. She is remarkably well kept, although she has been in regular use, she hasn’t been sailed greatly in recent years, largely due to illness.
The boat is advertised on Clarke & Carters web site, see:
She is a fine boat indeed and looks as if she has just left the builders yard.
I would seriously recommend her to anyone interested.
Frith at Burnham in 2015.
Another Finesse 24 has recently changed hands too. This is Andantino, which I wrote a piece about in the late spring. She has been purchased by a Benfleet YC chap. The club is based on Canvey Island, just over the bridge from Benfleet, Essex. I understand he is hard at work getting the boat ready to go back into the water…
It is pleasing when these classics find new friends to look after and cherish them: they’ll give good service for ones efforts…
