More pictures from Stuart and friends on one of their regular trips to Sark from Guernsey in their Almarine Seafires. From my 'air charts' map the distance in a straight line is an amasing 10 kilometres, that is pretty good in a 10 foot boat on the open sea with 2 people on board. Just look at picture 04, that boat is flying, with only the propeller in the water. 

Now you know why I am so keen on the Almarine and Mitcham boats and all thanks to Mr John Neate who designed and built them.
