Paul, what an excellent story and wonderful gesture made by you on our behalf. I too was at the Nash in 1978 and live in Bristol (Longwell Green), settling there after a most exciting and rewarding career in the Royal Navy. I have visited Portishead on many times and have seen the boat, I had no idea of the Nash connection. Thank you very much.
Fair winds and calm seas dear sir!. Yours Aye. Ken.
