grampian.jpg (39484 bytes) A well equipped Grampian 26 proving that you didn't need to have a big boat to join the flotilla. The smaller boats often set off earlier than the bigger ones and the flotilla stayed together remarkably well.
This is "Raindancer" a beautiful wooden 75ft Stevens.

The biggest boat in the flotilla was a 100ft schooner.

Scotia Blue became the hero of the flotilla by taking charge of organizing the docking and rafts at each destination. She invariably got in first and was able to investigate the docking hazards and available spaces. The skipper then sat on the radio for hours organizing the boats by size and talking everyone in. scotiablue.jpg (39623 bytes)
