Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms New year, new yacht

Very jealous, Philip.
My first sailing memory is sitting in a bucket on the foredeck of a Dragon in Beaulieu river in about 1951. I was being kept cool on a very sunny day.
My father bought the boat in Cowes with a friend for £500, took it to Swansea where he kept it on a mooring off Mumbles Head for a year, then sold it for £500. It was too exposed in easterly gales on the mooring, and there was no Marina in those days.
I still have a painting of it on my wall.
I have to admit to having a look for a Dragon a couple of months ago, but decided to stick with what I have for now.
If I could find one like Puff at a sensible price.......
