Boty,
It was great to see the Seabirds, as in plural!
There seems to be a hidden bunch of them lurking around SE Qld, they sure are a pretty boat on the water.

thanks shaggy expect to see more, joanne brodie was purchased by my off watch skipper and will be racing a lot though he still has to buy a sail wardrobe and is currently running 50 year old sails.Helped deliver cheranna down to rq last Saturday with new owner she is pretty race ready and should be sailing a fair amount though still will have a bit to learn also another of my crew is also looking to acquire one we will have our own class racing
