[OZAPRS] Yacht " FAR STAR "

[Robert Clatworthy]

Hi All

I received the following email from Winlink not too long ago. Not sure if
anyone else on the the list was included, so I've forwarded it on the
theory that the more people that know about it, the more help the amateur
community might be able to provide. I know others will have better contacts
then I do.
