In 1993, Alan Bristow had a yacht built in Bremerhaven. The yard took such a long time to complete it, the Old Man had the yacht motor sailed to Camper-Nicholsons Yard in Portsmouth to be finished. To check on its progress, he and Heather flew his King Air into Lee-on-Solent whilst his chauffeur drove his RR down to the gates to take him to C-N Yard. As a treat, he invited Rob Flexman and I onboard for its sea trials before it sailed to the Caribbean. A wonderful yacht and handled well. Apparently the Old Man designed his steering gear himself. No hydraulics there!! Just a couple of pics from that day
