How To Steam Ribs – Sailing Sunday
Robin Elliott sent me the youtube link below to Australian Ian Smith ribbing the 24-foot Ranger class gaffer he’s building for himself. Its good viewing. Ranger, was designed by E.C. (Cliff) Gale and built by Billy Fisher in 1933 & is still going strong under the ownership of Cliff’s son Bill Gale and races with others built to her design with the Sydney Amateur Sailing Club, photos below, again ex Robin.

KOTIRI B20
The below photo of the yacht Kotiri B20 was sent to me by Lesley Brennan, who commented on ww that she had come across an old B/W 6×4 photo with Kotiri hand written in pencil on it. Lesley will give the photo to the most deserving – no doubt the Classic Yacht Charitable Trust?

Has the switch got a brand name or part no on it. Im sure I have seen these in old english cars, probably made by Smiths or Lucas Someone may be reproducing them.. Maybe its time to upgrade as Burnsco have a special on at the moment, 2 switches for $10.00 Regards Paul.
