The rejuvenated ALTRICIA, all brightwork glistening on display indoors at the 2016 edition of London International Boat Show, is an abiding memory for many. Not in the spirit of tradition, but of the real deal, a fine representative of the super elegant way we used to go yacht racing and cruising – and still can with the added benefit of modern, ergonomic sail handling systems. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/789/ALTRICIA The penultimate McGruer 8-Metre Cruiser-Racer, ALTRICIA joined this fiercely competitive grand prix class at its swinging sixties zenith, racing against designs by James McGruer, Sparkman & Stephens, and David Boyd, when up to a dozen beautiful forty footers would race hell for leather whatever the weather on the firths and sounds of the West Coast of Scotland. Restored in Cornwall for the 21st Century by her previous, passionate owner, ALTRICIA will take you classic racing in style, safely cruising or offshore in comfort, and in either mode she won’t hang about!

Part of our 2 week vacation in the waters of British Columbia - we made our way to Desolation Sound. The farthest north we ventured was to the Octopus Islands, anchoring there for a night. The trip in was beautiful passing through The Whole in the Wall passage at slack tide. The hike trailhead was a quick dinghy ride away to Waiatt Bay. The trail to Newton Lake took us about an hour to get up to the top with a few scrambles on the way up. Everything was well maintained and the DIY nature of the signs was picture perfect - they were a big help. The lake water was warm and clear. We got there in the late afternoon so the sun was hitting just right. This was the highlight of the trip for the kids - until we arrived at Prideaux Haven the next day!
