Jack Holt, born 100 years ago in 1912, remains one of the most important designers and builders of sailing dinghies. His career started when a syndicate of Ranelagh sailors commissioned a new 14ft dinghy, the first Merlin-Rocket. Jack’s workshop was established 100 yards upriver from Ranelagh and it became the birthplace of a large number of sailing dinghies. Jack Holt designs include: Cadet, Enterprise, GP14, Heron, Hornet, Merlin Rocket, Miracle, Mirror, Mirror, Solo, Streaker, Vagabond and several others. To celebrate Jack’s 100th birthday, Ranelagh SC will host a Tideway Race on 7th October towards Central London, open to all dinghies designed or built by Jack Holt.
