My short history in sailing:
It starts in the 1970’s at Studland Bay in Dorset, we used to holiday there at the same time as another family from Bristol, they had a small daysailor and for me aged 9 it was a very exciting time and an adventure.

Skip forward some 45 years we currently have a Lytton Tornado 720 a 24Ft, twin keel, sloop. She was made in Appleyard, Ely in Cambridgeshire in September 1979. Now we are looking at updating her and restoring her to sail with disabled requirements.
