Not sure if it is just me but I found section 2 'Writer' unreadable. The quote from Roskill is very relevant but some of the other parts, particularly the section from the Amazon review onward, I found very heavy going and switched me off reading further (and I am very interested in Rayner). I stress that it may just be my personal opinion but I think that the section 'Writer' should be factual with the opinions considerably compacted. Boatman 12:41, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Boatman. I have taken it out. In many cases I am jealous of my own opinions, but re-reading that passage I don't blame you turning off. I put those words in at the time because I was feeling the need to defend Rayner in a way that feels no longer necessary.Sibadd 20:25, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Westerly Story
Certainly of interest, but the current format looks promotional.
'The Westerly Story' - a history of the company and its boats== In early 2006 the Vice-Commodore of the Westerly Owners' Association conceived the idea of writing a history of Westerly and the boats they built. ‘The Westerly Story’ by Brian Easteal and Peter Poland, includes an account of Denys Rayner's role in founding the company, designing its first five models, and assuring its future even while gravely ill. This illustrated 112 page book was privately published in November and copies can be obtained from the WOA Membership Administration Office, 19 Willowdale Close, Petersfield, Hampshire GU32 3PS, UK [1]
