Andy - I'll resist the temptation to tell you where you can put your 'sorrow' and point out instead that there is an essential difference between 'Nancy' and 'Cochy', and a re-created 'Swallow'. The first two belonged to AR and for that reason I am happy to contribute - particularly to 'Nancy' because the Trust is run so fairly. The new 'Swallow' will just be a plaything for the yachties - an artificial creation, having no genuine historical connection. Fine - if enough people want to do it - good luck to them. But I feel strongly that it should be a privately-funded enterprise.
