Lysander link


I recieved an email from James Robinson of the Lysander Owners Association who asked me to provide a link to their website. He writes:
I've been reading and enjoying some of your articles in the twin keeler website. My boat is a Lysander which was designed by Percy Blandford and built by Don Haslam back in 1975. I have only been out in the boat twice this year as I received it at the end of June and it took around three months to get it ready for the water and like many others I enjoy doing 'improvements' to my boat when not sailing.I was wondering if it was possible to include a link in your online newsletter to the Lysander website http://www.lysander.org.uk as I believe in a kind of solidarity between trailer/sailers and you never know we may get to read of more adventures of folk in boats than might otherwise be the case. I hope you like this picture of my boat 'Amity' where she is moored all year round at her mooring 'a running mooring that allows me to pull her in from the slipway'. I wish you all a lovelyChristmas & New Year and hope for all of us a good season of sailing next year.

The boat really does look nice. I have checked the website and couldn't really find out if it is a bilge keeler but I guess it is.
