The last Westerly Fulmar ever built

-

I sold my Westerly Fulmar, Elgar, in 2014 but I was missing her so much that I decided to build another. I wrote to her designer, Ed Dubois and acquired the line drawings.

With my sight not so good, I asked my friend Roger Greenwood for help and mini

was ‘launched’ in Christmas 2015 – surely the last Fulmar ever built, even if she is only 24cm long! Now when I want to go off ‘sailing’, I bring out her log books and mini Elgar and I relive the 18 years we spent together. Not quite the same, but it will do.

Many thanks to the designer and the shipwright for making my retirement from sailing just a little easier.
