Rayner's later boats
Kenneth Butterly has started a new blog about sailing the Rayner designed Westerlys. It will be great to see what comes up there.
Rayner designed boat owners are certainly a loyal bunch. Never knew about Robinetta. Only thought he did Westcoaster and Westerly's. What a treat! Suspect I'm going to learn a lot more about Cmdr. Rayner's designs before this exercise is over.
Look forward to reading your blog and hope you'll find time to share a Robinetta short story on SRB at some future date.
