thanks,

John, I;m afraid I can't help directly. But Pete Greenfield's crowd published his last edition of Gaff Rig, so you could always get in touch via them, at --

I think he also still writes for Classic Boat. You might try via this email cb@ipcmedia.com

Hi John,

Its small world, I only registered on this site today. I live in the neighnouring town to John Leather (Wivenhoe) and my friend (who's boat I'm enquiring about) Rents his mooring from John Leather. I met him on Sunday actually he's a really great guy. I'm a bit dubious about posting his Address on the internet, but if you're still keen to get hold of him I wouldn't mind passing a message on to him for you.

My thoughts entirely RSP. Last time I corresponded with him he was still using a 'steam driven' typewriter.
