Letona : Well looked After
David McGilp picked up Letona in 2008 when she was advertised as being “Free to a good home”. She was in need of 30 metres of new hull planking which David paid to have fixed, before tackling most of the other issues himself. She's since changed owners and continues to be a well maintained and looked after vessel.
