I had planned to do this but realise I will not get it done.

Re: Torbay Class II

Thanks for spotting that Tony. In the 1970 s I lived in Torquay and sailed Cadets and a Fireball we did all the regattas and open local meetings. I remember Paignton harbour being full of wooden dinghies on drying moorings. This may have been one of them. Often varnished boats wooden masts with heav...

Re: Jollyboat ebay alert

Hi Ed
Ian will be sailing J261 round the corner to Bosham and I will have J161 redecked by then.
Both are nearby and will be used in Chichester harbour this season.
I have assumed that Trevor's J9 will come.
Trevor - am I right?

Uffa Fox centenery

Talking to the owner of J83 for sale on ebay.
He crewed a 22 sqm at the Uffa Fox centenery.
The more I hear of this event the more I regret missing it.
Does anyone have any particular memories or photos they would be happy to share?

Re: Jollyboat J 143 on Apolloduck

Thanks for posting this.
I have spoken to the owner and got some of the history for the records.
The owners association records show registration in 1957 as Jaunty in Christchurch then Cara Mia to owner in Andover then sold to a Dr in Bath.
