As you might have gathered I am an MG fan. I have an Eventide 26 built by Hartwells in Plymouth (according to the first owner, the first to be built properly to the plans) in 1963. I have owned it since 1980. I met MG several times in his later years and have all his books, most signed by him. Happy memories.
Although brought up in Essex (well, Romford) I was told as a boy that anybody east of Brentwood stiill painted themselves with woad, so only discovered Mersea when I got into boats. Attended a couple of Eventide events in the Yacht Club including the presentation of the MG seat.
Always fancied a Solani class after going on Sea Pie (page 68) in Poole about 20 years ago. However got seduced by the eastern Med so big boat money went into a super Bavaria (but not a match for Tranona in satisfaction)
