Parker 235 / 22 Gentoo

By Graham Keating - May 06

"We had a cracking sail off Dartmouth on Monday 1st May so I jumped into the dinghy to leave my wife Dianne single-handing 'Gentoo' whilst I took these photos"

Sunbeam - Seal 22/149

The 1st photo, by star crewman Dan Stewart, shows Jason Powell (helm) and Gus Curtis aboard "Sunbeam" leading the field (cruisers) off Felixstowe during the Pin Mill Regatta 2005. It should be noted that Gus is holding a compass not a glass of wine!

Seal 22/231 TNT Bahrain

By Graeme Lindsay - Oct 05

This is a photo of my Seal 22/231 TNT reaching to the finish to win the Bahrain Yacht Club 2005 Square Rig Race. I now know why we don't use PVC sails - or Square Rigs! It looks horrible but it worked, and my sponsor was pleased.

Mylor and Truro

By Graham Keating - May 05

Mylor marina is very sheltered and has excellent facilities including a very good brasserie so we'd recommend it to anyone cruising to the Fal.

At Truro there is water for about 2 hours either side of HW, but you get a nice secure berth alongside the quay on some soft but not too smelly mud, right in the heart of the city. The trip up river is memorable.

Good Sammy - an Australian Seal 22

By Jim Price - Mar 05

Jim reports 'I know in Western Australia a company called Hill and Cameron built the Seal as well as the Sorcerer and Red Witch boats (all trailerable yachts 19-24 foot ) which were designed for our local waters' ocean conditions of a 20-30 knot afternoon seabreeze (called the Fremantle Doctor because it cools down the temperatures in Perth).

Details of our club can be seen at www.orssc.asn.au (go to sailing section to see more photos of Good Sammy and other boats)

We have a charitable organisation in Australia called the Good Samaritan Industries which is usually shortened to "good sammy's" and use a seal as a logo, hence the name of my yacht.

Notice the Australian Seal has a masthead rig.
