Disgrace for Yachting
      30/09/2004 22:35

Hi.

I just came back from a visit to Gipsy Moth IV at the Maritime Museum. As a sailor I was very shocked to see in which state she is. For sure nobody is taking care of her even at a museum, its a disgrace for the boat, the museum and yachting in general. Not even the halyards were properly tightened, they were hitting the mast thereby scratching it. Something has to be done soon before its too late. I hope the plan to restore her works out. The fact that I haven't heard about it for a while is starting to worry me.

Leo.
