Hi Sailors,

I thought that you might be interested to know that our former Farr 9.2 Exchequer has just been purchased by Michele's brother - John Lamond - and he has renamed her " She's a Lady".

Last week, I helped him sail her from Geelong where she has been for the past few years to her new home at Hastings marina in Westernport Bay on the east side of the Mornington peninsula. We had a great sail over two short cold winter days and our trip out of Port Phillip heads was uneventful except for dodging seals and fairy penguins.

Michele and I are delighted to have her back in our extended family and we will be joining John and his partner Bronwyn whenever possible for club race, a twilight race or a cruise.

We are leaving next week to take our Beneteau 57 up to Hamilton Island Race week so if any of you are going over there, please look us up.

I would also like to let you know that we have reluctantly decided to sell our Sunfast 40 that is down in the RPYC Annex so if you know of anyone looking for a great racer/cruiser WITH A PEN, then ask them to call me on 0404 345 103,

Happy sailing,
hamish petrie
