Mystery damaged hull !!!!

Post by Frank »

I was at SS marine this morning and noticed a damaged / gashed Out of Africa hull waiting for repair,

Steve kept tight lipped as to its owner, but I must say I am rather curious as have not heard of one being shunted.

Just to narrow it down the 3 Grafham boats are all in one piece.

I suspect it comes from South of Portsmouth, indeed "across the water".

PS Don't forget that Grafham has 4 'Out of Africa' boats (& none are damaged) - I know that mine has not been used for some weeks!!

If your hinting at our old friend Erling ,I did think it strange he sailed his old boat at Seasalter.
I wonder which of his boats will be at the Nationals

Damaged Out of Africa boat

Perhaps Steve is doing a quick job for someone in time for Saundersfoot!

Unless Gordon has taken some time off this week to practise, it's not his! He sailed it last Sunday. I didn't see it before it went in the water; I didn't like to crick my neck that much looking at it on the water; but it looked ok off the water after racing.

From which you may guess I might be well enough to sail at Saundersfoot - but accommodation might be a problem from what I hear. Has anyone overbooked and have room for a little old geezer who fancies a bit of sailing as part of his post-op rehabilitation?

PS Was the Grub Guru skiving off work when he called in at SS Marine?

It's definitely not mine. I've been busy polishing it this week, ready for next week.

All will be revealed at Saundersfoot. Whose ever it is, will be sailing on one hull. (sic).
