My present system comprises of the following components:. I want to spen...

On November first, we added an impromptu raffle to our Sing Shanties Song Circle in order to benefit the sailors injured and displaced when HMS Bounty sank in Hurricane Sandy.

Was visiting...

Salizanda and Me: Atalanta 26
http://salizanda.blogspot.com/2009/01/blog-post.html
Is a light-displacement, twin drop keel 26 ft yacht first built in the 1950s, designed by the famous Uffa Fox. And built by the same craftsmen who built the Mosquito.

As it is a trailer-sailor you can keep it at home and avoid paying mooring fees. Gavin Atkin has written an interesting article on the Atalanta which has been posted on InTheBoatShed. 22 January 2009 at 18:11. Diverse....
