Hi all,
It has taken me a year to write this, but it has to be done. Aeolis has beaten me. The refurbishment has ground to a halt, and I am going to have to scrap the boat.

I believe it is far gone, but if anyone has a place to refit it, it could still be salvaged anyone has the tenacity.

Please note the boat is in Ireland, and ferrying it back to the UK is costly. I posted this on the facebook group. I will let the secretary know when it is done.

I will give the go-ahead this week.

That is a shame. I believe that was the boat I knew back in the 1980s.  it was in Davies‘s boatyard Cobs quay Poole. It was Owned By An electrician by the name of David someone can’t remember his Surname  Really nice guy That boat was immaculate.I had a larger boat called Jethou. My boat was more or less the same design as the Twister but 34ft. Many years later when I wanted another boat I remembered David. So there was no contest it had to be a twister. When I got my present twister to France It was being lifted and I was stood next to a French fisherman and he remarked “solide”praise indeed.

Don't worry William,

The boat you knew in Poole was Aeolus, a very fine example indeed. Yes, she was owned by Dave Horsford. Aeolis was another Twister with a rather sad back story. Now you can relax!
