The Yacht’s Story

I have restored Glory to a state where we can happily live on her and she is now 100% seaworthy. She is still in what I believe to be her original colours above the waterline. She was somewhat run down when we bought her! Tough life of hard racing, including the 1979 Fastnet.
Currently she is ashore in the marina at Foleux in Brittany where we cruised last summer, and will again do so next summer. New sails, roller furl and wind vane have transformed her.
Attached arech some photographs of Morning Glory and a sail we did in company with two French 34’s.
