End of an Era
Not much has been happening here lately so I thought people who regularly use and appreciate the RL site should know that Keith Merkley has sold Peaches and Cream. P&C is a RL28 that Keith bought as a hull and deck and fitted out in his front yard. The end result was every bit as good as the factory finished model which is testament to Keith’s eye for detail and desire for excellence. P&C is still in tip top condition and the new owners have done very well for themselves. P&C of course started a long friendship with Rob Legg and eventually setting up the web site. Keith’s conviction that the RL28 is one of the most suitable boats for cruising Moreton Bay helped in my decision to purchase Swan a couple of years ago. Keith was very patient with a novice sailor on many a Wednesday after that. I suspect Keith will continue to look after the site and add the odd word of wisdom. I am sure his love of RLs is not diminished. I am sure he will occasionally sail on Swan, although I might be trying to thumb a ride on his new shiny boat more often. Keith is a humble guy but with any luck he will leave this up so that we can show our appreciation for the work he has done on the site, the advice he has given and his advocating for RLs.
