My wife and I bought Serina from Douglas Ritherdon in March 2012 and have had a lot of fun sailing her since then. She was built by Van Veen Jachtbouw in 2006 and has an inboard Lombardini LDW502M engine.

Her sail number is Ry3. This sequence number relates only to the Dutch-built boats – and not those built in Bridgend.

I’ve been a happy reader of the Roxane and Romilly website (http://www.roxane-romilly.co.uk/), gleaning how others sail and maintain their Romillys. I’m also fortunate to have the owners of Hebe living near-by – to compare notes with over a curry.
