N1417 was one of two Chippendale built Currey Mk.6 hulls supplied to members of the Cowal Holy Loch S.C. in l956, the other being N1393. Alastair Collyer was the owner of N1417 and Richard Roscoe of N1393. Alastair stretched his budget to acquire a suit of Ratsey terylene sails at a time when everyone still had cotton sails. It was reckoned that the terylene sails gave a l0% advantage. This contributor recalls that the Ratseys cost £40 and that a good suit of cotton sails could be had for about £25. |
