Sorry Alan I made a typing error myself — it is of course Gay Dawn in the pic not Juliana or Tiro with the other 2 boats– Cheers — K

Alan, it would be great if you could correct the error in the titling, — one only has to look at other pics of Tiro & Juliana on this site to knowTiro is the wrong boat — cheers — Ken
