The Story

I had been aware of blisters for some time but chose to ignore them until I damaged the leading edge of the rudder on a sand bank in the middle of the Thames Estuary (Middle Sand). A the same time I was aware of a leak around the rudder tube that required the rudder to be dropped for investigations.
