This blog is about my trials and tribulations of owning a 18 foot trailer sailer. Both have been Bradwell 18's that I grew up seeing on the River Trent in Nottingham. I first owned Holly a mk1 that I had lots of fun with and was sad to see her go. After a brief try of a larger Jaguar22 I decided to return to Bradwells and recently bought Y.KNOT a mk2 and have been impressed so far with the improvments over the older mk1 boats. Hope you enjoy reading my exploits as I share them.

Mates Dads Boat "Mcgreagor 26" Westie
Just i got home from my week away with HOLLY in Norfolk, i had aranged a weekend on my mates dad boat called Westie. The boat is based just past ipswich at Woolverstone marina and sailing on the river orwell. We went down on the friday night and then saild down river in the morning and out over to shotly point and out past Harwich, and then over to Titchmarsh Marina where we stayed for a night and then heded back the following day back up to Woolverstone. A nice sailing weekend had by all.
HOLLY go's to sea
It has been ages since i have put anything down.
Whent on holiday to Norfolk so had a chance to put HOLLY on the Broads in an area near Waveny and onto Oulton Broad. On a couple of days took Holly out to Lowestoft and based at the Royal Suffolk and Norfolk Yacht club, which i do recomend as you are straight into the middle of town. Had a couple of days trying the sailing out and found that the hybrid system is not as good as i thought it would be, am now trying to sorce another mast and have just recently brought a yacht Genoa. This would meen I am starting to gain a list of jobs for the winter months.
