Winkle brigs do not feature much in the boating press these days but having towed Constance to maldon from our summer sailing ground we found we had entered a sailing regatta and won a prize for driving. So if you are looking in PBO you will see a winkle brig on page 7.
The tow from the west of Ireland was behind a Fiat doblo 1.9. The journey went well and fortunately my clutch burning on the slip when pulling her out does not seem to have done too much damage. But only time will tell.
It is a good job towing a WB is so easy, this year we also got an award for our journey from Northumberland to Tiverton in Devon when we attendee the IWA Trailboat Festival. But that pails into insignificance compared with Martin's epic journeys around Europe.
