Rival Owners Association

Don Ramsay (R32 Flossie) has sent in the following information and photos.

C&J Marine at Chichester have made a replacement spray hood on a new frame and a complete cockpit enclosure for R32 Flossie. They had not made one for a Rival 32 before so had to make up a pattern. As a consequence anyone in future can have one made up without the inconvenience of measuring up, re measuring, adjusting etc. It took them weeks but the final result is quite spectacular. It must have been fitted, removed, adjusted and refitted at least three times. The enclosure can be folded back or completely removed, the frame collapses like tent poles. The enclosure zips onto the spray hood and apart from waterproof I think it must be virtually air tight! It has made a huge difference to the usable space below and keeps her much warmer and drier.  [The work was done for Don Ramsay, a former owner of Flossie. The yacht is now based at Cowes and the current owner is a member of the ROA].
