another owner - Langstone Harbour

Nice to see an owners association. More boats than I realised, especially near me. I am TANTALUS II, in Langstone Harbour, at Tudor. My boat is one of the early ones. Number 7 on the sail. I have had it about 14 years. It is not pretty by now, but its mine( it was knocked over in the 87 hurricane in the boatyard, repaired but it shows. I have had a few incidents with it, mainly the keel. Its a drop keel and no stub,( Cables breaking etc). Its nice to get shallow but its the keel that gives the most concern. But she is still surviving. I went to the maker in Devon when there for a pushpit in early 90s, but I dont know where to get spares now. She is driven by an old Evinrude 7.5. I fitted roller reef. It has a roller(on the boom) main as well. A weird rubber diaphragm type toilet.
