Hi Rich, I own a newbridge spinner called Great Bear, she's a really great boat, very easy to sail single handed. Apparently these boats were designed for racing back in the day. I fell in love with this boat because it has a very large cockpit for its size, and i can service the perkins engine very easily just by removing the engine box in two seconds and having access all around it. The only couple of things i have trouble with is headroom and not much space for a cosy double bed. Also the cockpit slopes downwards towards the back which feels a bit strange after you've experianced sailing on yachts with straight and level cockpits, but ah well, its not a big issue really. This pic was taken when i had her taken out the water for a survey when she was up for sale.
Very easy and safe to sail, Awsome engine room access.
