Sailing
During the late 1930's, Archie went sailing. Not much is known about the yacht except that
it may have been called "Westwind" and sailed from Lymington, Yarmouth or Cowes. The skipper was
known as 'The Dutchman' and the trips were probably arranged through a contact of Archie's
employer, Arthur Aman. Below are some pictures of one voyage.
Pictures of another voyage can be seen here.
