Re: Romp sailing photos
I was onboard the original Romp (the one from "30 Odd Boats") that was for sale in a Key West boat yard in March 1990. I really wanted to buy that boat and live on it in the Keys despite the lack of standing headroom. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I was a poor student... One of the more interesting "Bolger" moments in my life.

Hi
If anyone is interested I've added a few photos of my brother's Romp called Beluga Too from a recent regatta. We finally managed to get the spinnaker up!(been too breezy the last few times out)
The album is called, naturally, Romp.
Cheers
Peter
