A proud skipper with his vessel!

Here is the proud owner and skipper of an 1891 Colin Archer designed pilot vessel, faithfully brought back to its original specification in the eighties. We skirted a very dark storm cloud but were swiped by it resulting in a howling gale and a serious test of the rig, ropework and pulleys. She stood up to the test like a true viking lady should!

It is a true privilege to sail such a fine vessel!
