Graham the new Furball site has an excellent list of boats dating back to number 6. There are a couple of 2 digit boats on there from Netley Cliff I beleive have a look she may be there.Graham T wrote:So in terms of taking this even further away from the original topic my father used to sail Fireball number 20 at Broadstairs - a lovely Chippendale boat called "Boojum".
