Siblings Jack and Erin Osborn (aged 16 and 14 respectively) have spent almost all of their lives waiting to go sailing on their father James’s boat. Jack did at least get to sail on her before she was laid up for 15 years, but he was too young to remember it. “I’ve only seen photos of this smiling ginger baby on board,” he said. The boat in question is the Nicholson 36 Cohoe IV, which has been in the Osborn family since 1989 when she was bought by James’s father Bob and his great friend Chris Morrow... but her rst owner was Adlard Coles – the illustrious sailor, author,and publisher – who commissioned her to build in 1963.
