My Dad built Gratitude in the 80s. He lives in Topsham now although she was built in Derbyshire. I kept her for years in Essex. She spent any summers in Croatia cruising the Adriatic. I learned to sail by getting it all wrong and refusing to ask anyone else's opinion and
Thanks +Peter Wynn. I know of your dad and a bit about the boat from Clive Stiff, a good friend, from whom I bought it. I first wnet on it when Clive first owned it back some 10 years. It went away and then Clive bought it back again. It's certainly been a few places and had a few owners. Well done for recognising it. I did a lot of work restoring it 2 year back. It needed new platforms and a new mast and plenty of TLC. You can see a few of the pictures at wharrambuilders.ning.com/profile/IanBamsey It's currently getting a bit more maintenance before this season starts. I'd love to get to Croatia, but I'm not sure my wife's convinced!
