Early sailing days. We started with a twin-keeled 18ft 6 in plywood sloop, my brother, myself and a friend sharing voyages between London,  Ostende and the Scilly Isles. Later we moved to a Folkboat, that much harder to keep upright when the tide went out.

 

The early folding dinghy was a deathtrap, happily replaced by an inflatable before any of us drowned. As i remember, these shots are at Salcombe and Bembridge I.o.W in the days before the word marina entered any of our lives.
