Comments by a previous owner

“We are, as I said, delighted with our “LAETITIA” and have no wish to have any other kind of boat. For the two of us nothing could be easier to handle and we have been to France for the last six years.”

    Mel would like to ask the members if any of them are sat on an old boom, or part of one, a couple of foot would be ample for his requirements.
    He bought quite a nice new main for her at handy money but would need to extend the boom and do away with the mizzen; which he is contemplating doing anyway as he considers that the mizzen is a miserable sail and sets awfully.
