"Charlie Bravo"
Charlie Bravo is a well loved Westerly 22, Gunter-rigged classic built in the 1970's. Whilst built of GRP and not of wood like many classics, she does make up for it with plenty of wood trim, in the cockpit and internally.
The extra quality she has, is her ship's dog "Charlie", who is well known for his faithful love of "Charlie Bravo".
The name Charlie Bravo- C B - are the initials of the owner's eldest son and eldest granddaughter- so well and truly a family classic with her ship's dog.

"Krka"
KRKA (pronounced "Cracker") is a junk rigged Newbridge Pioneer, designed by Bill Dixon and built in 1986 by Newbridge Boats in Bridport, Dorset.
She is twin keeled and steered by tiller in the cockpit and is named after a beautiful national park in Croatia.
What makes KRKA special is that for many years she was owned by the JRA and used as a charter boat in the Solent area. Aspiring junk-rig sailors (and others) could learn what it was like to sail a junk-rigged boat, as well as having a good holiday.
The original owners sailed her across the Channel, crossed France via the canals, and based her in the Mediterranean for a number of years.
