Submit Information on this Yacht
Margaret, Argentario Sailing Week, 2015 Ph: Guido Cantini
“In 1968 I had been sailing with M. Dumfries (“Fries”) Bannatyne on his 8m Margaret and we cruised from Crinan to Stornoway, returning via the Crinan canal to Clynder.
I have a series of slides, now digitised, of the cruise.
