Discovery

I had to sell my lovely boat Discovery back in December 1996 so I could afford some urgently needed
windows for my house. It was a hard thing to do because I'd spent about a year and a half renovating her.

I learned quite a lot in the process of renovating her and then going out in her.
I hope that some of this information might be of use to you.
