(1) Robert and Pru Jones from Chelmsford in Essex were delighted with their Lugger "Thrift".  

 (2) It had been Honnor Marines first Lugger in build to have a Red Topland which turned out to be brilliant and with the white lettering made her look perfect.
Subsequent orders followed for the Signal Red Topland once she had been seen


Robert Jones gave Bob a copy of his book "Family Cruising" he had it first published in 1992;
It made interesting reading and we highly recommend that you should read it especially if sailing with a young family. ISBN -0-9519172-0-X only £5.


Bob and I wish Robert and Pru many happy sailing hours and look forward to meeting up with them at the boat show.

 
 (3) Peter Parsons from Market Harborough Leicester collected"Hornblower"from Honnor Marines boat yard.
With her Burgudy Topland White Hull Cream Deck and Burgundy anti-fouling she looked a pretty picture.
 
 (4) After securing her to her trailer she was covered with her Burgundy Acrylic Overall Boat Cover and taken home.
We hope Peter has managed to get some sailing in despite the wet summer.
 

 (5) All the Stevens family were delighted when they met up with Bob and Norma at The Hamilton Services in Scotland. Just in time for the families summer holiday.



 

 

 

(6) Sandy and Ian could n't wait to get her into the water but as usual Bob spent time going through the handbook to make sure everything was clear for Dad.




(7) "Mary" was chosen after Mums name of course. Oxford Blue Topland Cream Deck White Hull Blue Antifouling all added to make this day sailing boat stand out in the crowd; everyone pulling into the busy service area were taking note of this very attractive boat.



 

 

 

 

(8) A little nervous Dads sets off to tow his new Lugger for the first time; we told him it was effortless when we spoke later to see that they had arrived safely at their holiday destination.


We hope to get some sailing pictures from them and wish them all well for the future with their Lugger.

 

 (9) "Miss Amy" was delivered to Steven Rowton of Kings Lynn last month; with her full Oxford Blue Hull and Cream Deck the Original Devon Dabber looked delightful.



 

 

 

 

 

(10) Steven was very pleased with his choice of all Oxford Blue Hull Cream Deck and once Bob had gone through the handbook Steven couldn't wait to get in his car and take her out for her maiden sail.

Bob and I wish the family many happy sailing hours with her.

 

 (11) Oliver Dickson from Harwich met us at his local sailing club in Walton on the Naze which was having its open day.
He was delighted when he saw "Fair Wind" with her Burgundy Topland Cream Deck and White Hull; Oliver had ordered her at The London Boat Show and said that his Grand children would be delighted with her. The Lugger is a perfect safe family sailing boat.



 

 

 

(12) Wrapped up like Xmas presents all the contents were checked and Bob explained the rigging proceedure to Oliver as he had never rigged a Lugger before although he was a very competent sailor.

 

 

 

 

(13) Bob has all the patience in the world and does not mind answering questions and reassuring customers on the rigging and handling of the Lugger.

 

 

 

(14) "Fair Wind" looked superb on her Euro trailer with the extra security of a locking hitch,Oliver knew she would be secure left in the boat yard.

 

 

 

(15) To everyone's surprise "Fair Wind" had caught the eye of Kim and Ray owners of " Sandpiper" also Burgundy Topland Lugger which was moored nearby.

They were delighted to know another Original Devon Lugger was to be at the yacht club and offered help and assistance should Oliver need any to launch his boat.

 

(16) Ray explained that he had opened an Adventure sailing school incorporating RYA sail training RYA power boat training RYA DSC radio BCU kayak training and PADI scuba dive training; for further information see WWW.KAYAKMAN.CO.UK  
(17) Many thanks to Bill and Elspeth from Fishguard for sending us this latest picture of Siaffre and the family.
The Honda outboard 5hp 4stroke with a long shaft fits perfectly. She is moored at Fishguard where there are lots of Luggers Dabbers and Coasters, the area is ideal for safe family sailing.
Bob and I look forward to meeting them both at The Southampton Boat Show.
