But I'll be staying in the water to try and eke out a few winter sails. I just wanted to say thank-you for your sails and service and support this year. Solid, well informed advice, great sails and much pleasure this summer and autumn. I tarted the old barky up this year and she feels good. When I ghosted in and dropped the main this summer a yachtie said "I thought she was one of those new 'retro' styled boats when you came in, but I see now it's an old Rival." Good sails certainly helped the old girl show her style. Maybe you can make a silk purse.....as they say, after all. Thanks, Harry
