Vivacity pictures

Giles Watling from the UK sent me these pictures of his Vivacity, aptly named "Boat".

His story: " I have a Vivacity 20 (named 'Boat' - not very creative, but apt) which is very similar to your Alacrity which I keep in the Walton Backwaters - Arthur Ransome's 'Secret Water'. We have everything from quiet little creeks to the busy harbours of Harwich and Felixtowe. If you can cope with the tides it's a great cruising ground. I attach a couple of shots from a cruise this spring, one featuring my friend Bob looking mighty relieved after we got out of the way of a very large ferry. Keep cruising - Giles"

Summer 2009 cruise report

I have finally finished this year's cruise report. It's on the blog here and does contain lots of photos and some video.

This one then?

Another mystery boat. Peter Doyle sent me this:
"I have just started sailing and purchased my first boat in Perth, WA, Australia. I have attached some photos of the boat but the last owner did not know much about it's history. It's GRP over wood and obviously a twin-keeler. The last owner said it was built about 30 to 40 years ago. Any help in finding out more about it would be appreciated."
I think she looks a little Corribee-ish, but not quite. Especially the stern is all wrong.
