Lost Classes Rule The OUting of DaveH
Hi Everyone
I thought it was time to OUT Dave H's "new " lost class boat. Rumour has it that we all guested correctly early on and he has just been winding us up. Said boat is apparently one of those that cause colour blindness and really reflects the bad taste of the late sixties. Yes it's one of those sickening coloured Proctor Typhoons.
Cheers Al

Al..... I can't deny it, this is true...though if you look back I never actually said that it wasn't one. Only a journalist can twist the story and get away with being economical with the truth so there - I'm just behaving as I'm supposed to!
The boat in question is however 'special' as it is actually THE Proctor family boat.
I'll download some pics very shortly BUT... in an interesting cross reference, (re the recent string on bow profiles) - I would have to say that the hull from the front of the plate case to the point of the bow is very, very much Mirror14 territory. now timescales wise this is interesting as Peter Milne followed suit with that sweeping profile to allow for a very deep vee hull shape. As I say, all will become clear in teh pictures.
Not sure yet when the boat will hit the water as the early cvrda events are also Demay series so we'll be in the Smokers. But it will happen...and mghtily impressed you'll all be!

Hi
Dave are you sure you are not working for the gutter press and writing columns on things like Katie Price's T..s etc. Which would have given you the skills to be able to mislead us all for such along time?

Al...looks like all my secrets are coming out now!
With respect to my swimming in the sewers with the othermembers of the profession, I still draw on sailing for inspiration. So, the particular bits of the lady's anatomy that you mentioned just have to be in the same categoryas the Finn!
Big, heavy, past their sell by date, yet still in each and every magazine you open!!

Re: Lost Classes Rule The OUting of DaveH
Do silicon implants provide positive buoyancy, thereby removing the need to wear a full Mae West?

Re: Lost Classes Rule The OUting of DaveH
Lets try that again...
This being the C.V.R.D.A. I would not expect reference to anyone other then the original Mae West
http://www.silverscreensuppers.com/wp-c ... est009.jpg
By comparison Miss Price contains very little original material and was concieved some while after 1965.
However, perhaps in some distant future we will refer to that gybing downwind sail they used to have on classic dinghies as a "Jordan," or perhaps even "Dressing Katy Price."
...But I suspect by then she will be a lost class. Actually, lost it a long time ago...

Possibly not as long after 1965 as she would like us to think... and the design has been around for far longer...Michael Brigg wrote:By comparison Miss Price contains very little original material and was concieved some while after 1965.

Hmmnn... think I'd like to strip of the outer layers with the heat gun (think nitromors might be a big aggressive for the substrate) then give it a good rub down with some wet and dry..... then touch it up with a lick of the varnish brush..........
Do you still have those out of date samples Dr. Briggs.......
But with regard to her eligability for a classic event, I refer you to the recent string that was solved by the quote from Slocum.... as long as a single toenail is original, then she be a classic!

As might be expected David, the Rigging signal of 2 balls hoisted up the mast indicate that your vessel is "engaged in dredging operations!"
