Has anybody out there seen my mate John on Sabrina recently? Sabrina is a Davis Trader and John is somebody most boaters know. We seem to have lost track of himn and are starting to get concerned something untoward may have happened!!

I had wondered what had happened to him. He was down our neck of the woods for a bit.

Knowing how passionate John was about his boat, I find it difficult to imagine that he would willingly part with it. The photographs of the interior are quite different to the way I remember my many discussions on board with John. Does anyone where John is now?

 

As a matter of interest, it was a chance encounter with John and Sabrina at the 2005 Braunston Boat Show that persuaded Jane and I that we must have an R W Davis 'Northwich Trader' . . .

I can certainly see why he was passionate about his boat.
