LOL,
Did he also inspire all those European 'Health and Fitness' magazines, those pix are very similar to my boyhood study materials.
I don't think those Wharram covers made it through the Aussie censors, I will try and find my Aussie edition and scan it if I can.

Re: Catamarans

it just so happens that I was speaking to a young lady friend today, I find her very easy on the eye and charming.She probably is not a Wharram kinda girl but I can overlook that. My cunning plan is to ask her to bless the ship when i finally launch s.v Warthog.
I mumbled something about the shortage of virgins in Australia, she smiled knowingly.
Anyway she said she would be honoured to christen the cat. Who knows she may want to come sailing one day. I have rigged knotless netting for the tramps for extra comfort of bikini wearers.
