Roy Elwood and his wife have had, and in the case of 99 year old Roy, are still having very interesting lives and readers may wish to delve into these in more detail as documented in the media and self writing.
Rod, the son, was himself brought up on their own boat, a converted fisher until the age of 10 when space, including sister Carolyn, for the four of them became too limited. He’s progressing with Northumbria Sailing to enhance his sailing experience as well as his RYA qualifications.
Mother Rosalind, lots of names beginning with ‘Ro’ in the family is the author of Botter Living, Botter being the type of Dutch fishing vessel which was converted and named Windhaver.
