In touch with an old School Chum

The Nicholas' First 40.7 at "the Rock", 2007 Fastnet Race

Through our Canberra Grammar "Class of '67" Blog, I've been put back in touch with my old schoolmate, John Nicholas, from whom I haven't heard for these last 44 years.... They now live in London.
Turns out his family are sailors, and that's their First 40.7 in the 2007 Fastnet Race.  "Nick's" son, Ben, is a four time class National Champion (doesn't say which Class..) and once World Champion.
