Owner's Remarks:


"Steeplejack is a fish from the Steeple in Essex.  My family and I have had some fantastic holidays around South Wales and North Devon with her.
 
She is wonderfully roomy for a 29' boat providing ample accommodation for the four of us.  The Mirage is a solid boat that will happily take the ground which is a great bonus sailing on the Bristol Channel and surrounding waters.
 
Steeplejack and I took part in the 2015 Jesters Challenge - Pwhelli to Baltimore (Ireland) via the Fastnet Rock - where she performed admirably.  On the return to Swansea from Baltimore, with a good force 6 from the West we returned to Swansea in under 48 hours, so she's no slouch either.
 
There are 2 reasons for moving on from Steeplejack.  Firstly the children are moving onto University and college and sail less and less.  Secondly I would like to pursue future Jesters Challenges further afield and I feel a smaller boat would suit my needs better.  
 
Needless to say we will be sad to see her go, but we have some fabulous memories to take with us"
