I think I ought to add a bit more about this boat. Its first owner was the late Clive Robinson of Trent Valley S.C., who did very well with it, winning many races and trophies in the early seventies. It was then bought by Derek Armstrong of the same club around 1977. The next owners were Phil Jones - thought to be of Nottingham S.C. - and R.G.Forrest. I last saw the boat in 2000(?) at Earlswood Lakes S.C. where I noted that it did not appear to have been looked after very well and had a hole in the stern quarter. The next year I visited ELSC, the boat had gone and I was told that it had been written off. I was surprised at this because I had felt that it was capable of being saved. Ken Goddard? ? |

Dont know some of the History but I do know that this boat was owned by Ian Gore from around 1978ish until he bought trouncer in around 1982. Remember Ian managed to sail it pretty fast even back in those days. Probably stayed in the club from then |
