From Ken Goddard: Colyflower, N.718, was designed by Jack or Alec Stone (father and son) of Salcombe, and built in 1949. She was bought by me in around 1961 from David Poole of Weston Super Mare. The boat was berthed on the promenade at Weston along with all the other boats of Weston Bay Sailing Club. She was then called "Frolic II", but I renamed her "Colyflower", after the town in Devon in which I was then living. I took her back to Trent Valley S.C. and subsequently sailed her at a number of South Coast Regattas such as Teign Corinthian and Falmouth Week. I sold Colyflower in about 1964 to an old chap in Chaddesden, Derby, who was a member of a small sailing club belonging to the then industrial company International Combustion. I though I caught a sight of her in the dinghy park of that club, in a rather sorry condition and I guess she deteriorated and subsequently written off. Ken Goddard (tel. 01332 521168) |
