I've just noticed that 'Fire Spirit' is on the mini tonner list. I remember racing against a Gary Mull mini tonner called 'Fire Spirit' in the late 80's or early 90's on the River Blackwater in Essex. She was owned by a member of the Dabchicks SC in West Mersea at that time. I can't imagine there could be two Gary Mull m/t's with the same name so if she's in Orkney now, how did she get so far from her old home?

I am on my way tomorrow to england where my boat is, with 19 assorted sails. let me know the key measurements, I can look and see if anything may fit. My Secondanita is italian with tall mast and may not yield anything useable, but we can look. specifically there is a dacron main which does not belong and maybe from a different background, I have never measured it. I also need to know what size boltropes main and genoa. I have measurements from most of the sails. Try me. That you are thousands of miles further north shouldn't be a problem if something looks right. I will be in Oxfordshire for 5 days, returning to germany on thursday. Send me a private message with a contact tel. no. Richard
