TWO BENNETTS ONE OWNER

 These two have been in 

for ding repairs only.

And to have leg rope loops

glassed onto their tails.

But are worth adding. 

Both are heading to the 

Old Mal titles at Crescent Head in

a couple of weeks and want to avoid the rocks.

 Note the concave on the left hand board.
