Winfrith : Have Boat, Will Travel
John and Jan Ridgeway have undertaken some epic voyages in Winfrith over the last eight years, several of which have featured in the HOA magazine. Most recently, summer 2016, they sailed from Brighton to the Channel Islands. However, they are feeling their age and have decided (August 2016) to put Winfrith up for sale, with a view to then buying a canal boat. They are looking for around £35,000 - Contact me for their email address if you wish to enquire.
