Crew training

We went for a short sail in the Swale with Allan, Alice and Toby. It was a warm day with a light NE breeze. Toby is now 16 months old so takes a lively interest in activity aboard, helps with pulling on ropes and loves waving to people on passing boats. A friendly wave from Toby always gets a gratifying response.

The first picture shows Toby in Bonitas cockpit chair - designed so its occupant can see whats going on and offer advice without getting too much in the way.

Toby in charge

The cockpit chair was originally made about 30 years ago for Allan - seen steering in the upper photo but occupying the chair in the picture below.
