Ships log for the yacht "Sparrow" an Ian Anderson designed 'Hurley 20', sail no. 109, launched 16th November 1967. This is the day to day stuff involved with owning and sailing a small boat, so nothing earth shattering but there'll also hopefully be some adventures along the way..
...if you Google "Suhaili" [clicky] you'll know why this was an amazement and an honour... and she was looking superb, and there's no way I would have gone round the world in her.. hats off...
Lucky for some : > ) I read his book back in another life time when I was 20 years old - he's one of the greats. I read that Robin KJ was completing a big renovation on Shuhaili. Has the interior been completed??
I would say she's been looked after very well.. standing rigging was gleaming as he's just finished having the exterior done.. I had a little look inside, and he's almost finished cabin sole... I understand he has a modern (plastic) forty+ footer as well for when he wants comfort.. :o)
