A pleasant read for the new year.

I lurk on 'Wooden Boat' forum occasionally and the link above came from the info in this post
http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthread. ... ers-online

There are in fact lots of sailing related freebies on google books. The link under reference has some interesting tips, many contrary to conventional wisdom. A bit of  light reading for the new year.

 Oh yes , happy new year all Investigators. We had planned to sail over to Wangi for the only fireworks advertised for Lake M but the predicted 30 k winds for the evening would have spilled our Sauvignon Blanc . So we drove up to our more traditional NYE haunt, watching the fireworks over Nelson Bay marina. One day we will do this from the water.

Fair winds and full sails for 2015.

For the boat obsessed, such as myself, this site is interesting and has a bit of thinking outside the square design on display . "Too much boats" is never enough.

This is rumored to be the trend in TSs for the second half of the decade :lol:

Union Jack is an extra. Can be towed by a small hatchback. In fact can be used as a small hatchback.

Haha
No doubt, as in the old t/s brochures, they'd advertise this one as "sleeps four people".
Using the Porta-Potti could be a challenge though.
Fair winds and following seas
