During the year, our chairman ,Trevor Dunn, escaped the Auckland winter and explored the Caledonian Canal in Scotland. Trevor says that cruising the canal is an excellent way to go from one coast to the other in Scotland. It is scenically very attractive with mountains coming right down to the edge of three large lochs including the famous Loch Ness. In between these big bodies of water are sizable stretches of canal which have adequate depth in them up to 4 metres. It is a very pleasant trip which includes traversing over 20 lochs, several of them in staircases. The atmosphere was very convivial both on the water and ashore. There was also the chance to anchor in very pleasant surroundings next to historic castles. |

New Antifouling Removal Service |

X-Foul_E-8 based in Auckland, offers an antifouling removal service using a specially designed water lubricated sanding system. We recently used this service on “Watermark” to remove some 10 years of anti foul build up before applying two epoxy undercoats followed by Autex No 5 Antifoul. |

Perpetual Motion Sold Sadly Colleen and Bruce Drummond have sold Perpetual Motion to a new Bay of Islands owner. Colleen and Bruce launched their Farr 1020 in 1978 and have owned her ever since that date. We are not aware of any other Farr 1020,s that are still in the hands of their original owners but would very much like to hear from anyone who qualifies for this distinction. Warwick Jenness |
