Another Jack Holt Explorer found in Kent.
Explorer XX 7 . Like XX 6 also has the sliding gunter mast present. Also a restoration project; more intact than XX 6 but not complete - non original rudder. Original sails but they are in very poor condition, the main being badly rotted but the jib is better. How many do we need to form a class own...

Re: Jack Holt YW Explorer - Dinghy Database Pictures.
Found the answer myself...........1962 edition of The Dinghy Year Book............page 57. Jack Holt himself aboard. According to the sail number on the sails with the boat this is "one and the same". Next step is to find some intermediate history........1978 Thames Launch licence....... How did she...
