Investigator #126

Post by Terry.S »

Hi, after owning our little gem for going on 4 years now and always wondering about its history today i discovered a very faint outline of its name on the transom.. with the combination of sunlight,shade,a lead pencil and finally some metho the name was barely visible when viewed from all but the right angle. So welcome back " NATASHA"...
If anyone has any recollection of her please pass on, thank you..In the absence of a name up until now and i have looked long and hard for a glimpse of what may have been, we had put off renaming her, so now we have another option

Congratulations Terry on your discovery and welcome to active participation in the forum. Posts are getting a bit thin on the ground here.

As many 563 names are inspired by Conan Doyle's creation I'm sure Mr Holmes would be proud of your detective work. ;)

Hope to see more posts. Actually I like to see any posts these days . Maybe we're all out sailing.

I think the problem with lack of posts is that I have closed off registrations due to the spammers, and have not found a way to fix yet.

Terry,

Here is a picture of Investigator #126 called "Shapeli". Was your boat called Shapeli when you purchased it?
