The Westerly Pentland was a ketch right?

Never had to worry about tipping over at low tide either did ya?

You are right. It is a bilge keel ketch. It was called 'Quill'.


You're not still in the Royal Navy eh?

No, I retired from the Andrew in 1960. I am off to Melbourne next week to
stay with an old mate from 50 years ago. Went into teaching, calligraphy and
civilian sailing after that.

I "recommend" you keep a low profile if you're still in the Oyalr Avyn.

I am well retired, so will keep as low a profile as I can, consistent with
advertising!
