Tearose

So burnt bulkheads would have not been that uncommon then. And worse besides.

Here's a more recent one. 2018

I think I may have met him Vaughan. Would that be Bill? We spoke about it and as far as I remember he was going to have to stitchweld the block.

Aha! Hello Vaughan. Doesn't she look wonderful, thank you for those. I've never seen the airbrushed version, I've definitely got the one you sent me with the topping lift on. I shall look forward to you reuniting Tearose with this original item from her Hearts days. Very intriguing! So, it really is some time since you've sailed her, hopefully as you say this year will sort that out. We'll have some good photos to upload here I'm sure. Can you remember there being a fire on board whilst she was with you? We've uncovered some significant damage to the bulkhead next to where the Stuart Turner engine used to sit. It was behind some cladding.

Absolutely. I've loved reading this thread. I cheered like a school boy when I caught a glimpse of her in Vaughan's cine film.

The greenhouse! I remember you telling me about it at a lady yacht club dinner. We've called it that ever since.

Changing the subject a bit. Hello! This is my first post, and I'm here because I Googled my boat to see if anything new turned up. It did, and was delighted to be directed to this forum and that man again, Vaughan Ashby! Nine years ago I bought the Three of Hearts, now called Tea Rose and Vaughan was tremendously generous in supplying me with archive photos and information. We've not met yet, but last year we came close to reuniting him with "The Three". Gales scuppered that attempt, but it will happen I'm sure. Vaughan, thank you again for your help and your encouragement. With luck we will be posting photos of a reunion soon, and when it happens there will be some action shots of Vaughan back at the helm. When was the last time you sailed her Vaughan?
