      Hi,

      I am just saying hello.I have bought a Gp14 as my first boat.I have hired cruisers on the Broads for many years but after hiring a tow along sailing dinghy for evening fun,we found it more fun than during the day.My Son joined his Uni sail club and Now we are booked for parts 1 & 2 of the RYA course in July.

      In a moment of madness I bidded on a Gp14 and won her,she is Hull and sail number 9098.

      My untrained eye can see she needs a bit of work as some previous front end damage has been repaired with alot too be desired!

      I feel happy to own her despite her faults and look forward to helping keep her alive and cruising.I will add a pic from my phone.

      The battens have ‘Bala sc’ as a clue to a previous life which I Googled and see this is a North Wales sailing club.

      And so the story begins.

      Mike Parkinson…
