...so the lady dug it out - addendum/correction:
boat: "Scaffie"
crew: Tony Phipps & Cate Thorne
we did NOT meet them in Cairns but talked about them with common acquaintances (rtw-ers too), not sure if they rtw-ed the Swanson, but pretty sure they made it to the uK

Any Swanny owners, come check it out. There’s 7 of us on there now. 38’s, 32’s and 28’s.


I’m a Swanny 28 owner, (Anka, the plug for all the subsequent 28’s).

Couldn’t be happier with her. Not fast, but rock solid. ����

Hi mate, I’m now following the group.
