Peter Saxton writes: “I’ve been approached via Alberto Portiglia at Nautivela in Italy to see if any UK sailors are interested in an exchange with the 16 year-old son of a friend of his, an ex-Optimist sailor who would like to come to the UK for a few weeks. The proposed dates may clash with exam,….” but if anyone would be interested, please be in touch through Peter.
