Wonderful Royal Burnham Yacht Club, when i was a child my fathers boat sheered a skin fitting, in those days we only had hand bilge pumps. My father radio'd for help soon a launch came out from there pulling up along side my father wanted a tow to beach the boat, the guy in the launch agreed. The next thing he asked if my father was a member of the Royal Burnham, so my father said no he wasnt, the guy then apologized saying he couldnt help us as we were not members then left. My father soon managed to get a bung through the hole stemming the leak to almost nothing. The engine had been immersed in sea water so we limped back under sail to our mooring at North Fambridge. I find the crouch nice but not at weekends, the huge amount of day sailing makes it not inviting for cruisers
@@WoodyOTW yes that was, i was only approx 6 may be 7, i remember the guy in the launch , mind you in some ways nothing has ever changed, there are few that will ever go to the aid of another contrary to Maritime Law that allows them on the water in the first place. Royal Burnham Yacht Club or what ever it is called should never have been allowed to exist thereafter
Hi Lee, she was a Beneteau 325, I believe she's pretty stable in that kind of wind, but TBH dinghies are what I sail in most of the time. Thanks for watching. Woody
