Forgot to put this post in first
Last week took my lad to Anfield for a birthday treat so had a great day out
Next time he wants to go to watch a live match, told me that he wants to sit on the KOP end.
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.

End of year and more Things to do
Took HOLLY off the water a so I can look to another refit. I have ideas that I would like to complete for next year. I guess that you will never finish a project boat as that is part of the fun of ownership. My main aim this time round is to make HOLLY ready for some sea sailing, so over the next few months I will be looking to purchase a spray hood and putting a push pit with stanchions as I feel on an 18 footer these will be a priority.
I have just bid and won via eBay another set of sails this time off a prelude ( should of called the boat EBAY) due to the amount of items purchased off there including HOLLY herself. If i can keep costs down then i can prove to people that you can own and enjoy a good size trailer sailor without braking the bank.
As can be seen in the pictures there is a little collection of sailing cruisers including another Bradwell 18 called Little Nuke and a Jaguar 22 plus my caravan.
