I'm to the fore in this photograph, with Peter Clay, Robert Westling and Hugh Browton behind. My own boat is the Harrison Butler designed, 36 feet long, Tramontana. I bought her in December 2012 when her home port was Ipswich Haven Marina, seven nautical miles further up The River Orwell from where we had stopped for lunch. She's now based in North Wales. It was a joy to revisit the area where I first sailed Tramontana.
