You asked me "a first hand account" of the drama during the Fastnet of '79 with the Sandettie,...
Jan Krijgsman, first owner of her is back from holiday and contacted me. I spoke about your query and he certainly will contact you.(I gave your mail adress)
Today, he did it and put me in "CC", perhaps you are in holiday ...? Anyway, contact is made.
Read you,
kind regards.
